Sweet Orange Farm - This is the place to be for those looking to buy fresh oranges, lemons, and pomelos while enjoying the stunning views of the vast farmland and the golden desert of Hafirat Nisah. Just a 1½-hour drive from the city center, you can purchase fresh fruit at farm gate prices directly on-site. Besides shopping, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking desert landscapes, rock formations, and mountains, where the golden and reddish tones of the desert valley merge with the greenery of the plants across the plains of Hafirat Nisah.
The Farm Globe and Nurseries employs organic farming methods, avoiding pesticides and synthetic or compound fertilizers. This results in fruits that are naturally flavorful, healthy, and safe.
