Doha. The perfect place for a date!
Dates are a traditional first meal when the sun sets during Ramadan, and have been a staple food of the Middle East and parts of South Asia for thousands of years.
They are believed to have originated around the Persian Gulf, and have been cultivated since ancient times from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 4000 BCE. The Ancient Egyptians used the fruits to be made into date wine, and ate them at harvest. There is archaeological evidence of date cultivation in eastern Arabia in 6000 BCE.
