AL-QARYAH AL-TURATHIYAH

This restaurant occupies a replica of the old adobe village houses of the Najd, a little kitschy. The room is divided into small open or private lounges for families. Old photos, coffeepots, transistors and telephones from another century make for a slightly cluttered décor, of the kind found in many private museums across the country. The restaurant is one of Tabouk's must-visit spots for its typical Saudi cuisine. On the menu, chicken mandi, kabsa, or madhbi, a dish originally from Yemen.
