The date-palm farms of the Qassim oasis from the air

Al Qassim

Date country. Buraydah’s markets move more dates than anywhere on earth, the souks keep their auction mornings, and beyond the palm groves the open desert is camel ground.

Why Al Qassim

Date country.

Al Qassim is the Kingdom's farm belt. Buraydah's markets move more dates than anywhere on earth, the souks keep their auction mornings, and beyond the palm groves the open desert is camel ground.

We run two days here, one built around heritage, oasis and markets, the other around heritage, farms and markets. Both turn on Buraydah's morning auctions and lunch among the palms. Come hungry.
