Kuaik dates are the most famous variety in Wadi Al-Safra, Madinah, surpassing other types of dates in the region.

Abdulrahman Al-Hujaili, a date enthusiast, told Al Arabiya TV that Kuaik dates are distinguished by their low sugar content.

He added that these dates are grown on palm trees irrigated with rainwater, a tradition passed down from ancestors, and noted that Madinah’s dates become widely available by the end of August.

This type of palm has long been cultivated in the area and nourished by rainfall, further enhancing the diversity and quality of Saudi Arabia’s date production.
