Hamat Al Nakheel Yields the Finest Varieties of Ripe Dates and Khalal

In its fruitful annual summer season, the crowns of palm trees across the country are adorned with clusters resembling chandeliers, laden with premium varieties of fresh dates and halawa dates, including the distinctive-flavored Barhi and the widely renowned Khalas, which grace hospitality tables, particularly in majlis and diwaniya gatherings.

Annually, during the halawa and fresh date season, coinciding with the intensifying summer heat, life stirs and date markets become increasingly active, as citizens and residents flock to this beloved summer fruit, eagerly anticipating it year after year for its unique taste, nutritional value, and numerous health benefits.

As is well known, thanks to its unique properties, Khalas dates reach their final stage, transforming into dried dates in a phase known as “kanz” (treasure), while some preserve Barhi dates by converting them into “ajwa,” a delicacy that enriches dining tables.
