the arabian peninsula

The cultivation and trade of coffee began in Arabian Peninsula. By the 15th century, coffee was grown in the Arab regions of Yemen, and by the 16th century, coffee became popular in Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey.

People drink coffee not only at home, but also in many public cafes, known as qahveh khaneh, which began to appear in many cities in the near East. The popularity of cafes is unparalleled, and people often patronize them for all kinds of social activities.

Customers not only drink coffee and chat, but also listen to music, watch performances, play chess and pay attention to current events. Coffee houses soon become an important center for the exchange of information, so they are often called "schools for the wise".

With thousands of pilgrims from all over the world visiting the holy city of Mecca every year, knowledge about this "Arabian wine" began to spread.
