The Culture of Saudi Arabia

The family has always been very important for the Arabian Peninsula inhabitants.

In Saudi Arabia men can have up to 4 wives at the same time.

Generally women marry men that have been chosen for them by their fathers. The wedding day is the most important day of their life and the celebration is prepared in great detail. The cost of a wedding can be staggering, but both families contribute to them.

The mosques and poetry of Saudi Arabia are two important expressions of art.

Long ago, before Islamic times, nomads loved poetry and it was the highest form of art in the Arabian peninsula.
