Salamalaikom! i really need some help.. I need an arabic tea set that is really from here in Saudi. I need it for a gift for a dying friend in US, she requested it for long time. I need to send it by mail. And I kind of need it by tomorrow. Where can I get it? I cant even go out, because we’re not allowed to go out anytime by our employer. I’m currently living here in Riyadh.

There are not so many places in the USA where you can buy Arabic Coffee or Saudi dates. but i found this website that offers these things with reasonable price and shipped in 2-5 days.

I encourage anyone find another place to post it here.

thank you

[...] you are an expatriate or a Saudi, if you are in the Kingdom you will experience the unique taste of Arabic coffee. Most Saudis grow up learning the “etiquette” which goes with the serving of Arabic coffee [...]

UPDATE:

LOL, Aliyah! Same thing happened to me, same experience. My last email to her was about how unIslamic her business practices are! She replied to my email, “ha ha ha ha ha you’re hilarious! Your order is in the mail.”

Ya Allah!

So, TODAY I received my order!!! After all those months. I, too, was worried, first time doing Internet business with them, etc.

I must admit that even though the thermos arrived broken, everything else that was unbreakable arrived in great condition, and Masha Allah, the things are awesome! So beautiful!

At least I now have a small dallah (I also won a big one on Ebay!). And I must eat crow and email her an apology for MY behavior at least. As a Muslim, I don’t like it when I get overly aggressive with other Muslims. Believe me, I had it with her and am ashamed of what I wrote in my email.

If anyone wants to order from them, prepare to be very patient!

Now, I will try Carol’s reciple!

Safiyyah, assalaamu alaykum, yes I have ordered from there. I bought a head abaya and some beautiful perfume – I have kept the empty bottle to get the scent replaced if/when I go to Saudi/UAE again. It did take a long time (about two months) to arrive and email responses were few and far between to my enquiries on delivery time. I was getting worried. Just keep bothering them, and hopefully your things will turn up. My last email to her was something like, ‘I thought this was a website run by Muslims, please just at least reply to this. I’m starting to think that this is all just a big scam’ etc etc I got a response straight away and delivery soon after!

Saffiyah,

Yeah, I have seen that store. We are more interested in the Khaliji floor seating. And yes, that place is VERY expensive.

We have thought about doing our whole house Moroccan. If we did this the plan would be to travel to Morocco pick out the furniture and have it shipped here to the USA. The whole thing, trip and shipping, would be cheaper than buying the stuff online and you get to see it first.

This is incredible as here arabic seating is quite reasonable. Of course one can pay as much as they wish but you can get really nice and comfortable sets starting in the 5000 SAR range which seat 8-10.

phoeee, really expensive stuff.
Why don’t you buy a couple of nice IKEA couches you can attach to each other and just don’t screw the feet under, so they are flush with the floor.

As Salaamu Alaikum AbuSinan:

Or you can get someone overseas to send it to you. But if you’re like me, you like to see it first. Arabic seating appears to be very expensive.
