Typically consumed at breakfast and dinner, it is usually made in big quantities because of the effort required to clean and grind the grain. It is served in large dishes shared by several people, and eaten using the thumb and forefinger while sitting on one knee. Although harees is prepared for many occasions, it is particularly popular during Ramadan, when honouring guests, and for social events such as weddings. It is also popular during the pilgrimage season because of the simplicity of its ingredients and the ability to make and serve it in large quantities. In the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia, harees features in many social and cultural elements such as folk stories, sayings and poetry. The related skills are passed on from mothers to daughters, in educational institutes, restaurants and hotels, and through the media. Preparing and serving harees is viewed as a sign of hospitality and generosity. ## Key facts - UNESCO inscription: 2023 (Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity) - Shared inscription with: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman - Also known / searched as: harees, hareis, hareesa, jareesh, wheat and meat dish, emirati food, ramadan dish, traditional dish uae Source: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/harees-dish-know-how-skills-and-practices-01744
