JAZAN, SAUDI ARABIA: High in the mountains of Saudi Arabia, in the very southwestern corner, on the border of Yemen, is Jazan province. It’s a unique part of Saudi Arabia, where some of the world’s most prized coffee in grown and where the mix of culture and food is unlike other parts of the country. Today we have the privilege to visit a local coffee farm where a local family will be cooking a full goat haneed in the backyard.
We began our journey from Jizan city, in the Jazan province of Saudi Arabia. The city is located on the Red Sea, yet just an hour drive away to Fayfa, and you’re transported high into the rugged green mountains that are famous for generations of coffee farming.
Coffee is more than just a drink here, it’s a symbol of hospitality and a gesture of welcome. The coffee is much different than your typical Americano - it’s roasted very lightly, and brewed with cardamom and saffron for a unique fragrance. Rather than using sugar, coffee is served black, but with dates so you can alternate between sips of coffee and sweet dates. The combination is perfect.
After a welcome and coffee, we lit the outdoor wood fire oven, and then took a tour of the farm to learn about the prized Khawlani coffee beans. The farming practice has been passed down for generations in this area. Along with coffee, there were many medical edible herbs throughout the mountain.
Back to the oven, we loaded up an entire goat, along with big handfuls of sour dough, scented with the aroma green leaves. The oven was closed tight for a couple of hours to seal in all the steam and smoke. This cooking technique is common in Saudi Arabia and really does a great job of smoking, baking, and steaming all at the same time.
The time finally came, and we dished out all the tender goat on the rice trays. There were also a number of side dishes, including fresh buttermilk served in a smoky wooden bowl, a variety of doughs served with ghee, and possibly the highlight for me; helba, a sudsy fenugreek sauce that’s definitely a unique flavor, and loved in this region.
It was a meal I’ll never forget, in this friendly coffee village in the mountains of Jazan!

I apologize for not being more clear, coffee originates in Kaffa, Ethiopia. It was spread to Yemen, and this region of Saudi Arabia sometime around the 15th century.
Yemen was a colony of Ethiopia if that makes you feel better.
We Ethiopian love you so much!
How you are so so smart guy?????? After eating and tasting so much heavy foods
Great into thanks for sharing your videos!
It is the South Eastern corner.
Warm friendly and hospitable people Saudis are. I miss that country. Been working there for 25 yeras. 🇸🇦🇵🇭.
I am blessed for having lived in KSA during three years. I really miss this country, his food and his people. A great country.
The world map is false and fake, in its locations, sizes and spaces.

I'm a so proud Saudi and so proud how Saudis are well educated; everyone is trying their best English to communicate with international guests. 🥰
Who knew Saudi Arabia had mountains with coffee farms??? Always learning something new with Mark Wiens!!!!
Nagran and Jaizan are originally part of Yemen. Most of what is being shown the culture, cuisine, attire and buildings are all Yemeni style.
@@Ali_Ali710 some Yemenis always nagging about things when they hear Saudi arabia, you don’t even own your country u idiot ابو يمن بلاش هبل لازم تصايح في كل تعليق
Lol that region is where coffee was invented
@@Ali_Ali710 All of Arabia has always been one, dont seperate for no reason
@@abdulelahs1429 touched a nerve have I kid? Ask your dad about Yemeni history he will tell you the truth even if you don't like it.
Mark is so respectful to other’s culture, I’ve been watching him for years since way back when him and his wife first moved to Thailand, he gets straight to the point on his videos which is food 😅, he appreciates and is grateful to everything that comes his way. Am sure he had many bad encounters while traveling to places but never he had expose any of them. He always positive and mindful. You are a good guy Mark. Stay blessed!
Beep Beep 😐 .. What are you doing (( j. Seinfeld ))

Thank you so much for your support over the years, and grateful for your encouraging words!
Pretty disrespectful you don't accommodate your guests in reality. Not saying that happened here but most Westerns just don't live like this and you should accommodate folks, I do for all my guests. I've never eaten anywhere on earth that people didn't know how we do things from using the toilet, showering (SOAP), wash rags in the booty (SOAP), wet wipes In the toilet, hand washing (SOAP) to eating food customs like on separate plates and utensils and that we were as clean or cleaner than they ever were in how we conducted our lives as far as simple things like those two basic modern human principles that prevent disease/cross contamination/parasites/etc and I see that a lot in these cultures who believe they actually live a "cleaner life" in that regard commenting about they do and "toilet paper is bad for you" when they only got half the story of how we clean ourselves (I don't have to break it down most people know exactly what I'm referring to on the other end of the Eastern spectrum). "Archaic communal/toilet practices" basically you're just asking for forever parasites and sickness if you've never grown up that way coming there. That's just how it is in some regions but it's okay, they learned about being clean way earlier than we did as westerners mostly. All this talk of "respect of cultures" I keep seeing over and over on all these food shows swings both ways and I keep seeing it on all these food shows with things I wouldn't and most wouldn't partake in (this here, no big deal definitely one of the most bland food encounters imaginable. I'm not here to cast real shade on anyone or their culture, Mark included. I'm just not the type to eat half cooked monkey brains in the jungle for example with tribes who've never bathed in their life and whose immune systems make ours look like malnourished geriatrics one cold virus away from "kicking the bucket". All depends on what you're working with physiologically and willing to do is where you're willing to go wherever and have usually been exposed to everything anyway and I have enough as is but I just don't get down with ebola and brain eating protein prions like mad cow type diseases you get from bushmeat as much as I can help it. Talking about people like Sonny on BFRS do, no sir, not me, lol. This here Mark is doing pretty safe and mild in my opinion and I'd eat with them but as far as respect? Again that goes both ways and they very well know it in Saudi Arabia which is one of the richest and most educated cultures on earth. You got me in sub-saharan Africa drinking bile, congealed blood, and sour milk like it's the best thing since sliced bread I must be high out of my mind with a 🔫 to my head because you can count me out 😆.
@@MarkWiens hey dude why don't you show the price of street food
التعليقات جداً جميلة ورائعة شكراً مارك لإظهار هذا الجانب من السعودية للعالم والشكر ايضاً لهيئة السياحة على تنظيم مثل هذا . Thanks Mark for showing us this part of the world .. great respect for you and for your subscribers .. best regards from SA 🇸🇦 everyone is welcoming here

@@MarkWiens ❤
Wow....Lived there 32 years ago when I was a child, and vaguely remember doing the same trip up into the mountains. I thought I was having fake memories of a more lush mountainous region because most of my memory was of seas of sand. Glad to know it was real.
You are always welcome to come back 🙏🏼 You will see a better version of Saudi Arabia
This might be one of my favorite videos on this channel yet. The hosts were so gracious. Lovely.
I love how much the one guy smiles. That’s one happy dude
He farms coffee, what do you think? Man literally farming his happiness lol
Due to the teachings of Islam ❤️
@@Gadanfer one reason for sure. Love for god brings happiness to no end.
Spending 3 days in Saudi Arabia is really great. Thank so much for coming and I hope you enjoyed our food and your stay here. ❤️❤️❤️🍲🍲

Love this video! The country is beautiful, the mountains is spectacular! Good job Mark!
Thank you, Mr. Mark, for conveying different cultures from different countries.. Saudi Arabia is a vast country with amazing cultural diversity, especially in the field of food.
Here we go with the Arab hospitality. Proud to be Arab!!!😎😎
thanks Mark for touring us in Jazan, Im not that familiar in places in saudi arabia but this one looks nice and foods really looks good esp while eating under the tree, really cozy. I love the hospitality also of the family. Didn’t know that coffee is best to drink with dates, gonna try it for sure🤤🤤🤤🥰💪🏻🇵🇭.
Thank you so much JB, an extremely interesting region of the world. I learned so much as well.
@@MarkWiens 😍🥰
Mark, you are incredible. Your sincere connection with the people you meet, their culture, and food is refreshing. Thanks for sharing them.
Love this Unseen Village food in Saudi Arabia!! I was there once upon a time enjoying this authentic food!!
Again Mark brings his experience and friendly personality to the occasion and brings out the best in those who are his hosts. Another wonderful display of dishes new to myself and I am sure many watching this video. Intersting to watch the cooking techniques. I would love to join Mark on one of his journeys. Thankyou again and long may you continue your world adventures with food. Cheers, David
Legend has it that one day Mark will eat a meal so good, he will lean all the way out of the frame. Thank you Mark for inspiring and helping me to create cool travel videos, it helped me boosting up my travel page to over 1k sub finally 😊😊✨✨
It’s happened already lol 😉
@@jewelsgrl yup I’ve seen it too ..When he went to like a village very remote and up in the mountains ..I forgot which exactly because I’ve been here since Maui when I first started watching him ..He leaned already 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Legend has it he will lean out of the country...
That’s why he’s always in the centre of the frame😂

Saudi Arabian life is a blessing.
سبحان الله كل منطقة لها عاداتها وتقاليدها
Thank you Jazanians for this nice cultural presentation to the world
بيض وجيهكم ياهل جازان 🇸🇦
I'm amazed by the tropical fruits around. Bananas, papayas, mango trees etc. This area could be the food basket of Saudi Arabia. Amazingly nice people too.
Jizan is a food basket that can cover all the Gulf countries, but Saudi Arabia does not export agricultural crops so as not to affect the sales of Jordan, Lebanon, and some Arab countries that depend on it.
Mark is always gracious and respectful, nice videos.
Wow Mark what a beautiful view and the food is so great and love it awesome. You are so blessed to be there .
Saudis are known for their hospitality. Allah bless them.
As well as Yemenis And this is Yemeni food. look at the bloke wearing the Ma'waz (cloth covering the waist and below) that traditional clothes is Yemeni clothes - saudi wear their white thobes Jazan is Yemeni land that Saudi got by pressuring the former ousted president of Yemen Ali Saleh. Our President currently Abdo Rabu Mansour Hadi refuses to give an inch of land of Yemen and guess what. He is stuck in Saudi. Make your conclusions mate
@@spidyman8853 Politicians always try to divide and rule for heir own interests. I think in general both Saudi and Yemeni people are very nice. Lived closely with them both for years so know their culture and habits.
This Arabs are used to use their fingers to eat, but they use them with so much ability that they never stain their own clothes. Is amazing. The food is incredible and their technique is fascinating. I enjoyed so much! Thank you Mark! You have done it well again. A funny moment: All the arabs went asleep and Mark is still eating 😆😁😅 You have all of us used to see this marvellous.
One thing to mention that they are so careful to keep their right hand clean so it's used for food.. they left him to actually go to pray and that one guy had to sacrify his prayer time to keep him company , you could hear the call of prayer in the background
Mark - you are amazing!! You have brought a new meaning and enjoyment to foods from around the world!! I would love to have some of those traditional food!! You have motivated me to explore some of these foods by preparing them when I can find the ingredients, or otherwise find a restaurant from these countries. Beautiful landscape. Fantastic video!!
Amazing to hear that, thank you so much for your support!
I hope one day you’ll visit us and try the amazing and different dishes we have I promise you, if you try just one of our dishes, you’ll never forget the first bite in your life 😂🇸🇦❤️
Omg I would love to visit here!!! I love ur Spirit Mark u are Loving kind and Genuine thank u for sharing the world's Different Culture and Food🫶🏼
