lets taik about customs and traditions in Saudi Arabia
There are definitely strong cultural values incorporated into Saudi family traditions.
Every country has its' values and traditions but when you're in a country such as Saudi Arabia, you hold onto them even more. Saudis take pride in their culture and heritage and do whatever it takes to not forget it. It's not just a culture to them but also a lifestyle, one that aims to show the good qualities and virtues of the Prophet Muhammad.
1. Eating on the floor and sharing their food with others
Note: Some families do eat on the table but many of them choose to eat on the floor because Prophet Mohammad used to do so. Also, eating with your left hand is considered a sin unless you have trouble using your right.
2. Provide Arabic coffee (Gahwa) and dates
Serving Arabic coffee and dates are a symbol of hospitality. This practice is also carried out in the holy month of Ramadan. Dates are eaten in Ramadan immediately after you break your fast because it fills you up and prevents you from overeating.
3. Going to the desert
Going to the desert is an essential part of Saudi culture. Much like a picnic, Saudi families pack their food and small tents and head off to the barr with friends and family to spend their entire day there.
