Kuwait produces first wild Sidr honey from Al-Sudairat valley
From the heart of the desert, a long-awaited dream has been realized. After five years of natural growth, without human intervention, Sidr trees in Al-Sudairat Valley have yielded Kuwait’s first locally produced wild Sidr honey.
Environmental activist Saad Al-Hayyan revealed the achievement, describing it as a milestone for environmental and agricultural innovation.
He noted that this honey differs from farm-produced Sidr honey, as it comes from naturally grown jujube trees in Faydat Al-Sudairat.
Al-Hayyan highlighted that Al-Sudairat Lake in northern Kuwait has become a natural landmark, home to more than 400 Sidr trees and a refuge for birds and wildlife.
He credited the Kuwait Oil Company for protecting and fencing the reserve, as well as for supporting expansion plans to safeguard the area’s natural heritage.
Looking ahead, Al-Hayyan said the project aims to make Faydat Al-Sudairat Kuwait’s first desert ecotourism destination, aligning with sustainable development goals while protecting biodiversity.
He added that wild Sidr honey, now produced for the first time in the country, will soon represent Kuwait in international festivals.
