Question

What traditions are involved in an arab wedding?

Answer

ZAFFE: The zaffe marks the grand entrance of the newlywed couple to their reception, accompanied by a lively troupe of drummers playing traditional and upbeat Arabic music. Both sides of the family and friends are enthusiastically invited to join in on the dance floor. The female attendees contribute to the joyous atmosphere with a spirited ululation known as zaghrouta, a traditional cheer of celebration. DABKE: At most Arab weddings, sitting down is a rare sight.
