Taif, one of the cities in the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia, has a rich and diverse culinary history that is greatly influenced by the convergence of different cultures and the region's unique climate. Known for its moderate weather and fertile soil, Taif has long been an agricultural hub, producing an abundance of fruits like grapes, pomegranates, figs, and the famous Taifi roses which are also used in food. The cuisine here is a mix of traditional Hejazi food, which bears the influence of pilgrims and traders who passed through the region, and Bedouin dishes, typical of the Arabian Peninsula. Spices, grains, herbs, and meats (such as chicken, lamb, and camel) are staples in the local cuisine. Food in Taif is characterized by its aromatic flavors and the use of fresh produce.
