Two-hour guided date farm visit with tastings, Arabic coffee and hotel transfer, bookable by WhatsApp.
This two-hour guided visit takes visitors to a date-palm farm on the outskirts of Madinah for a walk among the palms and a tasting of local varieties with Arabic coffee, and most departures also stop at the central dates market. A guide explains the varieties: Ajwa (small, dark, soft and grown in the Madinah region), Sukkari (golden and very sweet) and Safawi (dark and firm). The listed starting price is about SAR 60 (~$16) per person including a return transfer from the hotel; farm entry itself is usually free. The farm is not named on the listing and the operator sets the hours, so visitors should confirm details before paying. Booking is by WhatsApp on +966 56 400 3269. The harvest runs roughly July to September, when the farms are liveliest; outside that season the palms can still be walked but nothing is being picked. Early morning or after Asr prayer are the recommended times.
