What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the unique Saudi Arabian style of shawarma at Mama Nora, which features small, slider-like portions served on fresh house-baked bread with creamy garlic sauce. He also deeply appreciated the hospitality of a local family at their desert farm, where he experienced the traditional combination of Saudi coffee and dates. The highlight of the trip was witnessing the authentic process of cooking camel and mandi for a large family gathering.
