Food & coffee experiences in Abha & Aseer
The Aseeri coffee ritual is its own language — the roast, the pour, the order guests are served in all mean something. Around it comes mountain honey, saleeg, and bread from ovens that have never cooled. These experiences seat you at a local table, hosted by the people who cook this food for their own families.

Good to know
Aseer grows what it serves. Coffee comes from the terraces of the Sarawat, honey from sidr and juniper country, and the table is built around dishes such as haneeth, areekah and saleeg that take hours and a crowd. These experiences seat you at that table with the family who cooks it.
Come hungry, and tell your host about allergies when you book — most meals are shared from one tray and portions are generous. Coffee is poured in rounds; a small shake of the cup says you have had enough.
