The culture of Saudi Arabia

The culture of Saudi Arabia is deeply rooted and deeply influenced by Islam.

Islam has a far-reaching influence on national laws, customs and daily life. Mecca and Medina are the two most important cities in Islam, attracting thousands of Muslim pilgrims to worship every year. The annual Hajj is one of the largest religious activities in Islam, bringing together Muslims from all over the world.

The traditional culture of Saudi Arabia also includes oral tradition, music and dance. For example, Akka is a traditional oral expression that conveys history, values and moral lessons through stories, songs and poems. In addition, various traditional dance and music forms also play an important role in social and religious activities. Although Saudi Arabia's culture is deeply influenced by tradition and Islam, in recent years, the country has also changed in the cultural field.

History and culture

The history of Saudi Arabia can be traced back to the 3rd century BC, when the region was occupied by various tribes and ruled the kingdom. In the 7th century, Muhammad, the founder of Islam, received his first revelation in Mecca, which marked that Saudi Arabia became an important center of Islam. The spread of Islam led to the integration of the region and the formation of the Arab Empire at the end of the 8th century. The capital Baghdad is located in today's Iraq.

However, the territory of the Arab Empire gradually split, forming different Islamic kingdoms. Among them, the first Islamic kingdom in Saudi Arabia is Rashid Kingdom, which was founded in the middle of18th century and based in the middle of Saudi Arabia. This kingdom was ruled by the Ibn Saud family at the end of 19, hence the name.
