So beautiful pictures show the dates. if i can have it, what a wonderful thing.

yup that's my fav ^^ because dates r soooo sweet :D bwahhaahah

but in here it's more popular during Ramadhan (the fasting month for muslims)...that makes it so special…because it was eaten only in that month :D 

well still we can find them in here in another month but it's very rare :p

I like them a lot, Monatta. Great pictures.
Dates are grown in other parts of the Middle East and Northern Africa, too, and even in China, Pakistan, and a few in the US)
I can get them here but they are a little expensive and only available dried.

haha, I know the dates which used to be imported to China in 1960s. They are very sweety.  A gift from God

wow, amazing pictures!

Dates are very delicious, you can even get them in Germany :-)

In chinese, we call it 椰枣.

glad to know you have tried it all  .   and thanks for the passing

it is very important in islamic fasting month ( ramadan ) in which muslims prevents from eating , drinking and other behaviors since the sunrise to the sunset  .
