Asir’s Umm Waleed draws tourists with traditional mefa bread

Umm Waleed’s journey with mefa bread has become a success story that continues to delight visitors to the Asir region.

She learned to make this traditional Asiri bread from her mother, saying: "I loved this type of bread and began preparing it myself."

In an interview aired on Al Ekhbariya TV, she added that tourists have grown fond of the bread and now regularly request extra quantities.

Mefa bread, also known as "tannour bread," is one of the oldest types of bread in the Arabian Peninsula, prized for its unique flavor and the skill required to make it.

Many Saudis strive to preserve traditional recipes, blending heritage with modernity to keep these culinary customs alive.
