Wether you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’re craving some next-level sugary treat or you’re just an avid appreciator of desserts- we’ve got you covered. But there’s a twist. 

Saudi is known for having one of the best dishes, like kabsa and many others. However, don’t let that fact hinder you from their desserts. 

These are just some of Saudi’s best sweet-treats that everybody needs to try at least once in their lives:

1. Hineni

This amazing traditional winter dessert will make your mouth water with its goodness. Made with dates (sometimes different kinds) and that very light hint of cardamom. We’re salivating just describing this. 

Oh and thankfully we have our resident chef for Saudi dishes to teach us how to actually make this on our own.

2. Maamoul

Basically a stuffed cookie, but with a twist. 

This Hejazi dessert again uses dates as one of its main recipes, but the combination of it inside the dough is what will make you come back for more. Best eaten during Hajj too.

3. Kunafa 

It had to be on the list. A staple dessert.

4. Sogadana (from Makkah)

Doesn’t this just give you the beautiful feels of Ramadan?

5. Masabeeb/Maraseeh

Saudi Pancakes for life. 

Can I have some extra honey?

6. Luqaimat 

Last but most definitely not the least! 

This one is so popular, not just in the Kingdom but all over the Middle East due to its succulent, sweet taste.
