Jordan may be next "Arab spring" country in the American list.

Last time I went there I bought something smilier. Mine is slightly different but both are beautiful. And yes from Hijaz to Yemen thats what the people wear, not the majority these days tbqh.

Man, it warms my heart (really, LOL) that traditions are still kept highly also in terms of traditional clothing although the majority don't wear such things anymore as you rightly say. We should never forget our past and cherish the regional diversity of KSA on all matters.

Yes, I love the traditional clothing of Hejaz and Yemen. Really unique. Especially accompanied with a Janbiyah.

I have been to Al-Bahah with family a dozens of times but I don't remember the traditional clothes but I was pretty sure that it would be very similar being part of historical/greater Hejaz.

All over Hejaz, from Makkah to Jeddah to Taif, Also down to Abaha and Khamees Mushaeet.



Lol thats would be funny if true. Not that I don't expect it to happen but because Im not quite sure about Al-Baik opining in Qassim and Buradiah.

Yes, very true. Madinah and Yanbu too. Although to be honest then I am not expert with all those fast food chains. I like Al-Baik though also because it is very good and cheap for the quality but I can't say that I am a big fast food person/going person or what it is called in English.

But those lovely chickens are worthy to travel long for so you never know.

Impossible in Jordan,so this thread is bs.

@BLACKEAGLE I would like to hear more from your fellow what do you say?

I think what he stated is illogical and based on nothing but only on either conspiracy theories and false assessment. One of the most ridiculous thing (with all due respect to him) is wondering about the reason of US military help to Jordan, like he doesn't now about the deteriorating relations with Bashar and his indirect threats to Jordan, and the possibility of using WMD against it. Look, you can find so many different point of views in Jordan regarding politics, you can find professional people who have no interest in politics or don't have a background strongly stand by their opinions although many of them based on non-existent info , they can be very smart and professional but when they start talking politics they turn into idiots. Even vegetable sellers, bus drivers...etc with beginner education talk politics

I had a talk with my manager just few hours ago about what happened in Egypt, although that he is a successful man who has a degree in engineering, he accused the KSA and the UAE of financing Egyptian uprising to oust Morsi, and when I asked him for a proof he changed the subject, he and many others are just like him. You can find Islamists, liberals, Socialists, moderates, monarchists, leftests, rightests, and every group have their own point of view.
@Arabian Legend

By the way, MB and their sympathizers hate GCC regimes guts.

In short they are Arabs like all of us, LOL. Nothing new. And guess what. It is extremely funny. Discussing politics is like a olympic discipline. We Arabs would win each times. Just for the length of our discussions.

Is that member even Jordanian? Do we know?

Why not? You don't expect 6.5 million Jordanians to be just like me, do you?

 

[al-Hasani]

Well, all those theories sounded very un-Jordanian and spoken like a true Iranian Mullah or their cattle, if I am to be honest. I mean some of the theories is what you hear from that camp.

The Jordanians I have been lucky to know and encounter are very well informed about what is going on in our region and they strongly support the system.

Anyway Jordanians are clever and educated people and they know what to do and what not to do by large. If certain people started to rule Jordan then it would suffer greatly. Most Jordanians know who is their friends, brothers and sisters and who is the opposite.

But we will not allow Jordan to be destroyed!

Still people wear the traditional cloths from time to time during festivals, Eids...etc. And the Janbiyah too. Here take a look, even the US ambassador and his wife are.

Indeed, In term of quality Al-Baik chicken is taking the lead. And as you said not expensive comparing to other fast food chains. Yummy at the same time.

But it can also be dangerous, LOOOOOL

When people get hungry .

Yes, I thought so. Just like in Hejaz basically, I mean Makkah and all the villages around it and in general all of Hejaz. I expected the same to be the case in beautiful Al-Bahah which is now a separate province but actually part of historical and greater Hejaz. Yes, the women clothing is something I have seen my grandmother wear and also some family during gatherings, eid etc.

In Yemen people wear more traditional clothes. Last time I was in Yemen was a while ago. Maybe I will be there in summer (Sana'a and Tarim) but some areas are not safe for foreigners (non-Arabs LOL) but no need to worry.

Overall Hejazi and Yemeni traditional clothing is very similar.

For example this is some of traditional dress for women in Yemen:

Very similar to the one in our Hejaz.

Normal clothes worn by Yemeni in Shibam Hadhramaut (not really ultra traditional)

Oh, that ambassador and his wife.

Also what is American traditional clothing?

 

[Mahmoud_EGY]

I think it is clear the MB has powerful friends and they want to promote them in the region

 

[Ceylal]

Which of the other "Springed" countries have you seen succeed?
Algeria has fallen to Islamists.
.

Where did you see that?

 

[Ceylal]

Jordan is a stable country, it's difficult to throw a stable country into chaos.

The country is holding by a thread, The Syria's conflict aftermath will be its death...No body think that Jordan will be in a map within 10 years down the road.

 

[Ceylal]

Why democracy not knocks the doors of West African dictators?

Because they are pliable to the French dictat as the GCC is to the US...

 

[fallstuff]

Which of the other "Springed" countries have you seen succeed?
Algeria has fallen to Islamists.
Libya has descended into Tribal War.
Egypt just saw a Coup last night.

The elected Algerian Islamist Govt was thrown out. The country was in a civil war for ten years following that, about 200,000 were killed in the end.

Morsi wasn't even given a chance to perform. The fact that the supposedly independent Supreme Judicial authority backed by military has not helped the cause at all. Mubarak staffed judiciary constantly meddled in the administrative affairs effectively negating the efforts of Morsi.

Dual or more authority is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Desertfalcon]

Really didn't expect that from you Falcon! I thought you were wise enough to stay away from perpetuating such stereotypes aimed to distort the image of Muslims. Im sure Al-hasnai didn't mean to offend anyone however, his point is valid unless proven wrong. Please post pics of the american traditional cloths.

If you look at the picture right above the one I posted in this thread, you can see why I posted what I did. So it's funny when it's getting a laugh at an American stereotype...but not an Arab one that is common in the West? Why is it OK to insult my country but not the person's culture who is doing the insulting? I've about had it with the double standards around here!

Well, I thought better about you seeing your other positive posts about KSA and the Arab world in general.

There is a HUGE difference between posting a innocent photo of a overweight American eating a burger and what you posted. What you call a stereotype is not a stereotype but only that among the dumbest and most ignorant of all people in the West and they barely number more than 0,1% of the population and could barely pinpoint London, Europe or the Middle East on a world map. On the other hand USA is the most overweight nation in the world and there is nothing wrong with that since obesity is also a problem in the Middle East. How many Arab suicide bombers have there been in history out of a population of nearly 450 million? 200?

My comment was obviously a joke since I also joked about my own people (Arabs). I thought that was clear.

What you posted on the other hand correspondents to me posting mass-murderers, American war crimes, the American extermination (nearly) of the native Americans etc. and saying this is typical American behavior.

Also that photo I posted is a very popular gif and I have seen users use it as their avatar profile on this forum. Because it is funny.

Anyway a pointless discussion. My innocent joke was obviously misunderstood and if it really caused you that much offense then I apologize.

EDIT: You have also seen my posts on the US and know that I have studied there for 1 year so you should know that I have no problem with the US.

Nor would I since I praised the ambassador and his wife's action of putting regional and traditional clothes on in the very same post.
