This research investigates the historical and cultural significance of the most notable dishes on the Saudi table, highlighting their deep-rooted connection to Arabian society from the Stone Age through successive historical, Islamic, and modern eras up to the present. Using a descriptive-analytical approach grounded in original sources and observation, the study traces the continuity of these dishes and organizes its discussion into five themes: the evolution of food and dietary habits in the Arabian Peninsula, the relationship between past and present Saudi dishes, national and regional culinary narratives, the most widespread traditional foods in the Kingdom, and their cultural dimension. The findings reveal that these heritage dishes, once seasonal or reserved for travelers and armies, have become part of daily meals across Saudi regions, embodying enduring values of generosity and hospitality.
