On the occasion of choosing Jerusalem as the capital of Arab culture for 2009, the Ministry of Culture and Information in cooperation with the Palestinian Embassy in Riyadh organizes four Palestinian cultural days that include exhibitions, folk art shows for both men and women, and literary evenings.
Palestinian culture and folklore comprises many aspects from literature, music, clothes and embroidery, paintings and others.
Palestinian embroidery is an important part of our culture. The different patterns found on many items such as pillows and dresses reflect the rich history of the land. The different patterns represent specific Palestinian villages.
Debkeh is the Palestinian folkloric dance and is representative of typical village tradition.
