The McArabia Grilled Chicken/Grilled Kofta is a popular Arabic-themed sandwich available at all McDonald's outlets throughout the Middle East (except for Israel), and is especially popular in Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.

Varieties

There are two versions of the McArabia: Grilled chicken, and grilled kofta (beef with spices). Both are served with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and garlic mayonnaise in addition to two small patties of grilled chicken or kofta, all wrapped in an Arabic style pita bread.

Marketing

McDonald's has performed a rather large advertising campaign for the McArabia since its introduction in 2003, largely focusing on the Arabic-themed nature of the sandwich, and it appears to have worked well. The McArabia has been very well received throughout the Middle East.
