Tabuk

Grains such as wheat or rice and meats (such as lamb) constitute the bulk of Saudi cuisine; pork is normally not served in the country, as its consumption is forbidden by Islam. Yoghurt is often used in local cooking, and dates constitute a dessert staple. There is a lot of variation within the province of Tabuk, with coastal cuisine being known especially for 'Al-Sayyadiah', a signature local fish and rice dish served with spices.
