Description: Harees is a popular traditional dish made with wheat grain, meat and ghee. Typically consumed at breakfast and dinner, it is served in large dishes that are shared by several people, and eaten using the thumb and forefinger while sitting on one knee. Harees is particularly popular during Ramadan, when honouring guests, and for social events. In the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia, serving harees is viewed as a sign of hospitality and generosity. Transmitted informally, the practice promotes social connection and cultural affinity.
