Some of Arabia typical dishes are “shikamba”, a creamy soup with lamb meatballs; vegetable and fruit salad made with apples, dates, walnuts, lettuce mayonnaise, yogurt and lemon juice; Kofta made with spinach, ground beef, rice, spices, tomato sauce and onions; stuffed onions with meat and rice.

A typical dessert is “halva” a sweet pastry filled with dates, dry apricots and chopped walnuts.

Typical drinks are te made of raisins, lemonade, Arabian coffe, and Saudi champagne, a carbonated, non alcoholic fruit beverage.
