About This Blog


The Middle Eastern (Arab) culture at this time is very misguided and misinterpreted mainly because the public doesn’t know much about it. With this blog, I hope to change this present issue through posting about basically every aspect of this culture to give the reader a better idea of what the Middle Eastern culture is really about.
As a Middle Eastern woman, I was a little disappointed to find that there weren’t many blogs written by middle easterners about their culture. What I mainly found were blogs giving information about Middle Eastern politics, language, and religion. Although those are very significant sectors of a culture, what I have in mind is a blog written in the point of view of a middle easterner that also discusses daily experiences which allow the audience to see this culture through a middle easterner’s eyes. All that is seen in the news is war, blood, and chaos. We need a new perspective, how do these people celebrate their joys, endure their sadness and interact in a daily basis. No article reading or TV watching will give us the same incite as first-hand experience.
Be it from our extravagant weddings to our delicious homemade cooking to our silly superstitions you will see every angle of the Middle Eastern culture through a 12 post blog. What better way to learn about the Middle Eastern culture than through an Arab. I live and breathe my culture every day and I cherish and find a pride in it. A culture cannot be fully understood from reading a dried text book it is a much richer and more meaningful experience to learn about it from someone who lives it. So sit back relax and enjoy my reading my blog.
