The Saudi Dates: A Portrait of the Sacred Fruit book explores the cultural and historical significance of date palms across Saudi Arabia, combining original photography by Oliver Pilcher with illustrations by Rafael Alterio and images by Ayoub Alsuhaibani. Its content traces the deep-rooted role of dates in the region, from Qur'anic references to centuries of harvesting traditions, while documenting Saudi Arabia's UNESCO-listed date palm oasis. Created in collaboration with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture, the volume forms part of the broader Saudi Arabia series.
