Souvenier Dates
Does anyone know where I can buy gift wrapped dates here to take back to my friends and family as a momento of my stay in Qatar? Does anyone know any date pickers here? Do they actually grow dates here? I want the brown and wrinkly ones just like they sell at Christmas in Tesco's.
Bateel. They have nice packaging but a bit pricey. Dates grow abundantly in Qatar but the better ones I've heard are from Saudi.

I had a Chinese date once - she was all brown and wrinkly too.
Dates are also available in hotel bars and at the swimming pools. There are Chinese dates, for example.

Dates are found in abundance in this region. There are available in many varieties. There are some varieties that are seedless. There are other types where the seed has been replaced with Almonds. You can find them at major supermarkets such as Villaggio, Hyatt Plaza, LuLu, Safari, Saudi Hypermarket etc. Souq Waqif should also have them. They are available in loose form and also packed in attractive boxes. I have not seen any gift-wrapped ones but possibly you could have them gift-wrapped at the supermarkets.
Hello Rizks my friend. Heard about the injury from your last date picking escapade. Hope the flip flop is fixed and the Tiger Balm did the trick.

Rizks runs a date picking service. I will ask him to contact you.
