The Cultivars
Two varieties, international standard
Nakheel is built around the two date varieties with the strongest global demand: Medjool and Barhi. Single-terroir focus, single-standard quality.
Medjool
المجدولSoft · mahogany · large caliber
The 'King of Dates'. Cultivated under precision drip in the New Valley sand, with target fruit weight above 22 g for European premium gift markets.
Barhi
البرحيSoft · golden-amber · crisp khalal
Eaten fresh at the yellow khalal stage or cured to honey-sweet rutab. Highly prized across Gulf markets — and a signature of Era Agri's orchards.
Harvest Calendar
From flower to fruit
Four stages of cultivation — overseen by our agronomists in Sahl Albaraka with sensor-grade precision and inherited Egyptian craft.
- Stage 01
Talqeeh · Pollination
Late February to March. Male inflorescences are hand-tied into female spathes — a centuries-old Egyptian craft, now scheduled by sensor.
- Stage 02
Tashteeb · Thinning
April. Bunches are trimmed to 50–70 fruits per strand to drive size and uniform sugar accumulation.
- Stage 03
Kimri & Khalal
May to August. Fruit hardens green then turns golden — Brix and moisture tracked weekly per tree across the orchard.
- Stage 04
Rutab & Tamr
September to October. Soft, honey-sweet fruit harvested at ~24% moisture, sun-cured on raised nets, then graded for export.
