At Dejlah, we bring you honey that tells a story — a story of mountains, wild blossoms, and generations of beekeeping excellence. Our exclusive collection of Yemeni Sidr and Sumra honey is raw, pure, and packed with nature’s finest benefits.
Why Is Yemeni Honey So Unique?
Yemeni honey is regarded as unique and exceptional worldwide due to several factors related to Yemen’s geography, native bees, local plants, and traditional production methods. Here are the main reasons why Yemeni honey stands out:
1. Geographical and Climatic Diversity
Yemen has a diverse natural environment (mountains, valleys, coastal and desert areas), which creates ideal conditions for the growth of rare plants that produce high-quality nectar.
2. Rare Medicinal Plants
Some of the most notable plants include:
• Sidr (Ziziphus tree): Produces the famous and highly valued Sidr honey.
• Sumra honey: is extracted from the nectar of wild Sumra tree blossoms. It is known for its dark colour, strong flavour, and notable health benefits, especially in boosting the immune system and reducing inflammation.
3. Native Yemeni Bee Species
The Yemeni honeybee (Apis mellifera jemenitica) is a small, hardy species well adapted to the harsh local conditions. It produces thick, low-moisture honey of exceptional quality.
4. Traditional Harvesting Methods
Yemeni honey is produced using traditional, chemical-free practices:
• Bees are not fed with sugar.
• No pesticides or antibiotics are used.
• Honey is collected manually from clay hives or hollowed tree trunks.
5. Chemical Composition
• High in enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Very low moisture content, which prevents bacterial growth and prolongs shelf life.
• Strong taste and concentrated aroma depending on the flower source and region.
6. Medicinal and Folk Uses
Yemeni honey, especially Sidr honey, is widely used in traditional medicine for:
• Digestive and stomach issues
• Respiratory infections
• Immune and fertility support
• Wound healing
7. Rarity and High Value
Due to limited production and labor-intensive traditional methods, Yemeni honey is rare and expensive.
Royal Sidr vs Premium Sidr – What’s the Difference?
• Royal Sidr Honey
Harvested once a year under exceptional conditions. It’s rare, dense, and deeply aromatic.
• Premium Sidr Honey
Harvested more frequently but still from high-altitude Sidr groves. It’s perfect for daily use and makes a wonderful gift of wellness.
Both are naturally rich in antioxidants, enzymes, and immune-boosting compounds.

Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Sidr Honey
• ❌Assuming all “Sidr” labels mean purity
Some products labeled as Sidr contain blends with other floral sources — check the floral origin ratio.
• ❌ Overlooking lab reports or origin documentation
Always ask for Lab-Test results and sourcing details to ensure quality.
• ❌ Purchasing from unknown or unverified sellers
Lack of transparency often means lack of authenticity.
• ❌ Not confirming harvest season or Sidr purity
True Sidr honey is seasonal and must contain high Sidr flower content.
• ❌ Falling for low prices
Genuine Sidr honey is rare and naturally comes with a premium value.
• ❌ Ignoring visual signs like colour
A darker colour may indicate the honey is aged or improperly stored.
