Local Jizani Cuisine at ‘Dar al Khayma’ – Jazan, Saudi Arabia
Before I kick off this review, is it Jizan, Jazan or Gizan? I still haven’t decided how I’m going to spell this city and I’m not going to try either. Work took me to Jazan and this was my first visit to the capital of the Jizan region. I’ve heard a lot about the food […]
