Well ,it seems to be very interesting when talking about our culture .In fact I chose today to write about this culture which distinguishes us among the whole. Howerver,I wanna talk in particular about some certain habits and customs which considered as an identity for us as muslims first then as a social practice we all should be proud of .
At the beginning,when talking about our culture,we have to keep in mind our visiting habits and party invitation.For us as Saudies ,it is very important that if you are invited to a party ,you should not come on time.You have to be little bit late for that .Being late does not mean that you are not respectful ,even those who invite you do not expect that you will show up early.Moreover,since you get there ,do not think that you will be in a company with your family because women are separated from men according on some religous and traditional believes.So, do not be surprised if you trurned around and see that no family for you there!!
In addition , While being there among the guests ,you will notice how respect we always show towardes the old people . They are to be the first who have the priorities of taking their position of sitting and eating over the younger ones.
On the other hand ,the types and different kinds of food which may present for parties are represented mainly with rice and meat. Rice and meat actually, are considered to be the main dishes in Saudi culture although the way of cooking may have a slight difference in the method of how it is gonna be prepared .Also , the way of cooking itself might be different from one place to an other .
Eating and visiting habits in Saudi Arabia is something very interesting .Although ,we have our way of representing ourselves with ,but there are some little differences which indicate how huge Saudi Arabia is !
