What to bring home

Dates
Saudi dates come in dozens of varieties; buy gift boxes or loose dates by weight.
Saudi coffee
Lightly roasted beans with cardamom; ask for the blend you tasted at iftar.
Oud & bukhoor
Perfumers blend oud and incense to order; test on skin and let it settle before buying.
Museum and Diriyah shops
Look for books, prints and crafts inspired by Najdi heritage.
Ask who made a piece and where. Check materials and shipping. Bargain politely only where invited; respect fixed prices in boutiques and artisan shops. In Ramadan, shop hours change and many stay open late into the night; check before you set out.
