Sobre este Tip
When someone offers Saudi coffee, say yes, because it is a gesture of hospitality rather than a menu item. Gahwa is lightly roasted to a golden colour, spiced with cardamom and often saffron or cloves, and poured from a long-spouted dallah into small cups. It usually comes with dates, which balance the bitterness. Expect a few sips at a time and hand the cup back when you have had enough.
