If you’d like to try the local cuisine, then Machboos is an absolute must-have. It’s made up of rice and aromatic spices with meat, chicken or even seafood, and topped with roasted nuts to add that crunch to this delicious Qatari traditional dish.
Machboos is one of the popular dishes in Qatar and you’ll always find it on a Qatari dining table, especially when they are entertaining guests.
