HOW TO MAKE A
SAUDI CARE PACKAGE For travelers, students abroad and hostess gifts. Here are DR’s picks for the perfect Saudi Care Package! By Johara Almogbel
There’s absolutely nothing Saudis like more than their food. Rain, shine, sandstorm, England, Timbuktu… whatever state we’re in or place we’re at, kabsah isn’t really far from our minds.

SPICES
DATES
RICE
Well, doh. How else can you make your kabsah without Saudi spices? Take all of your spices, measure them out according to taste, mix them together and pack them in tubes.
Non-Saudi dates are never as good as the original stuff. And maknooz dates are really hard to spoil, have long expiration dates and pack very easily.
Perfect kabsah rice is hard to find abroad, and a bit more pricey. A small bag of your favorite basmati won’t take much space and is bound to make you happy.
