Storm concludes after 123 days
The Farasan Islands concluded the "Al-Asif" season, which lasted 123 days. This is one of the most prominent agricultural and cultural events in the archipelago, serving as an important social and cultural occasion during which locals resume harvesting ripe dates from palm farms that host more than 10,000 palm trees, producing approximately 2,000 tons of dates annually. The season derives its name from the northwestern winds that blow during the summer. It is characterized by organizing manual harvesting operations that reflect the expertise passed down through generations, with a focus on caring for the palms and developing marketing processes. Palm cultivation faces challenges such as rising costs and climate variability, but reliance on modern irrigation systems enhances production and establishes a foundation for preserving the agricultural heritage and cultural identity of the region.
