1 recipes
Gulf Arabian (Khaleeji) cuisine is the shared canon of the Arabian Peninsula Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman), built on spiced rice-and-meat dishes, dried limes (loomi), and the bzar/baharat spice blends. Kabsa/machboos (the regional national rice dish), harees (wheat-meat porridge), thareed (bread stew), and luqaimat (sweet dumplings) are shared across borders โ modelled as ONE regional foodway rather than near-identical per-country slugs to avoid routing ambiguity.
