Hummus with Habibiti hopes to share with you our opinions, likes and joys from travel around the Arabian Peninsula. As avid globetrotters with a true obsession for hummus and chickpeas, we’ve crafted our own rating system —the “Chickpea Scale.” Each blog post will be rating things, experiences, food, etc out of 1 to 5 chickpeas instead of hearts or stars.
