Where We Are Going Today: ‘88 Port' burger in Al-Khobar
My favorite item hands down was the truffle burger; juicy angus beef, crispy onion rings, double cheddar, and a rich truffle sauce that takes it to another level. Every bite was exactly what I hoped for.
On the side, the buffalo shrimp were spicy, saucy, and fun to eat, especially paired with the ranch dip.
The brisket balls were another hit, crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside. I also really enjoyed the 88 Port salad, which felt fresh, crunchy, and perfectly dressed; a nice balance to all the richness.
Now for dessert, the chocolate brownie cake was hot, gooey, and topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle — the perfect ending.
The brisket fries were a letdown, a little too oily and overloaded with toppings. A crispier base might have made a big difference.

Saudi traditional container keeps its cool — and makes a cultural comeback
RIYADH: As part of Saudi Arabia's Year of Handicrafts, a traditional handmade leather container used to store food before the advent of refrigeration is making a comeback in the Northern Borders region. For generations, Al-Samil played a vital role in desert life as a simple storage container for food and water. Now the traditional items are being celebrated as a lasting emblem of Bedouin heritage, Saudi Press Agency reported.

At Arar's traditional market, local artisans display Al-Samil alongside other crafts, including sadu weaving, spinning tools, and embroidered garments.

The container is still valued for storing wild ghee and fermented yogurt, with the leather adding a distinct flavor. Many rural homes and farms still use it.
