About

The mountain coffee culture of the Khawlani tribes in the Jazan highlands, recognised by UNESCO on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

The knowledge and social practices around growing, harvesting and preparing Khawlani coffee were inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2022.
