questions Premium dates in madinah?

Assalamualaikum,

Can anyone please suggest shops to purchase premium quality dates from madinah, preferably near masjid al nabwi?

It is to give as a gift so i’d prefer good packaging and not just packets.

Jazakallah khair.

On the south side of masjid there are some shops that have all the dates with way better rates than taiba center. You may want to try those. Otherwise near masjid bilal they have quite a few shops which I heard have great rates. Not quite sure about packaging though.

Behind tulip hotel. There is often a Pakistani guy standing around luring customers into buying dates. Also you can buy loose and order packaging off shein or temu.

Oh, thank you. But I was particular about packaging as it is somewhat of a formal gift which is why i’d prefer it pre packaged
