Welcome, dear guests! My family and I are delighted and honored to host you in our humble home. We promise you a unique and enjoyable experience that begins with a taste of authentic Saudi hospitality, featuring traditional Saudi coffee paired with the finest dates.

Following this warm welcome, you will have the opportunity to wear traditional Saudi attire and capture beautiful, memorable photos to cherish as a keepsake from this special visit. We will then conclude the journey with a creative experience where you can have anything you'd like written in elegant Arabic calligraphy, making your time with us rich in cultural beauty and artistic expression.

As for the dishes, they will depend on the timing of your booking. Guests can select two dishes—one sweet and one savory—which will be served alongside the traditional Saudi hospitality of Saudi coffee, dates, and a traditional Saudi dessert. This experience offers a deep glimpse into Saudi culture within a warm, family atmosphere. As we say in our Saudi dialect: "Zaratna Al-Baraka" which means "You brought us blessings".

My family and I loved visiting Uncle Fahad and his family. They welcomed us all very warmly into their beautiful home, his wife prepared a lot of delicious Saudi pastries and delicacies that they have with tea and gahwa. They explained what each item was, what it is made of and how to eat it. We also had the opportunity to try traditional Saudi outfits and received a beautiful present with our name written in Arabic calligraphy. Uncle Fahad's children were also present and took part in the cultural exchange, they shared information about their life, traditions and culture and also asked about ours. It was truly a beautiful experience that my family and I still talk about today. My dad despite not speaking English or Arabic and Uncle Fahad who doesn't speak our language both managed to somehow understand each other and start what I can only assume will be a beautiful life long friendship. We were really honoured to have spent some time with Uncle Fahad and his family and I would highly recommend the experience to anyone visiting Makkah.
