Our Story

The Al Dhaheri Family

The Date Room was born from something simple — a family that grew up on its own dates. The Al Dhaheri family has farmed date palms across Al-Ain for generations. The dates from those farms fed our children, filled our gatherings, and became a source of deep pride in our Emirati heritage.

In 2018, we decided to share that pride with the world. We wanted to build a brand that serves Emirati dates exclusively — not as a commodity, but as something crafted, celebrated, and worthy of the traditions behind it. From our family farms in the UNESCO-protected oasis of Al-Ain to your table, every product carries that story.

Today, The Date Room offers over 93 products across six heritage date varieties — Kholas, Fardh, Lulu, Bumaan, Khadrawi, and Razaiz. Each is harvested from our own family farms and transformed into something extraordinary in our Dubai production facility.

The Team Behind Every Date

Behind every box of dates is a team of passionate people who care about getting it right. From our retail staff at the Abu Dhabi showroom to the production team in our Dubai facility, from logistics coordinators ensuring same-day delivery across the UAE to the management team planning what comes next — each person plays a part in the experience you receive.

We work with over 200 hotels and corporates across the Emirates, including names like Four Seasons, Jumeirah, Chalhoub Group, Etisalat, and Mashreq Bank. That trust is earned by our team, every single day.
