Wholesome, homely and extremely tasty Egyptian cooking will take centre stage at Beit El Sabban, a new seasonal food pop-up serving diners in AlUla until 7th February.
Set within the lush AlUla Oasis, the concept draws inspiration from the flavours, textures and stories of the ancient heritage destination’s surroundings, pairing a curated Egyptian menu with a thoughtfully designed space that brings people together. Beit El Sabban is open every day for breakfast from 10am to 1pm and for lunch and dinner from 4pm to 1am. Last order is 10.30pm.
The experiential pop-up celebrates togetherness and authentic regional hospitality, inviting guests to share generous plates that complement the natural beauty of AlUla.
Mornings at Beit El Sabban begin with a warm, comforting spread featuring classics such as flaky feteer meshaltet served with honey, white cheese, molasses and tahini; foul Iskandarani, slow-cooked fava beans with tomatoes, onions, spices and olive oil; taameya, the crispy Egyptian falafel made from fava beans and fresh herbs; Egyptian shakshouka, gently cooked with tomatoes, onions and bell peppers; and koshary asfar, a light breakfast of warm yellow lentils with rice.
Dinners offer a choice of beloved classics and comfort food. Guests can dig into warming lentil soup; Egypt’s national dish, koshary – layers of rice, lentils and pasta topped with savoury tomato sauce, fried onions, garlic vinegar and chili; mixed mahshi, seasoned rice stuffed into vegetables and slow-cooked until tender; and molokhiya, finely chopped leafy greens cooked with garlic and coriander and served with rice and chicken.
For the full experience menu, Beit El Sabban expands its offering to include hawawshi, bread stuffed with fresh and flavourful meat, and a selection of two main courses – roz meammar hammam, creamy, slow-baked rice with pigeon, or Fattah mozzah, layers of rice, bread and tomato sauce topped with tender lamb shank.
Beit El Sabban is one of the many distinctive and memorable eateries to explore in AlUla, where depth of flavour meets living culture and heritage, creating memorable foodie moments for travellers to savour.
