The Qassim region is renowned for over 50 varieties of dates, showcased daily by farmers and traders at the Buraidah Dates Carnival’s auction yard. These dates, diverse in shape, size, taste, and type, have been carefully preserved for generations, resulting in high-quality and unique flavors. They have become a source of livelihood for farmers and traders for centuries.
Sukari, Saqei, Shaqra, Hishishi, Nabt Ali, Khalas, Sukaria Hamra, Rothana, Halwa, Maktomi, Wanana, Barhi, and many others are among the most famous varieties that distinguish Qassim’s dates. This presents a great opportunity for consumers and traders to purchase these sought-after dates. It also provides a chance for young people interested in the date trade to engage in selling and trading.
