Book of Arabia - Khamsa Hand


Posted August 11, 2016 by BookofArabia

Khamsa often contains an eye symbol, a realistic or stylized eye, which appears in the center of the palm of the hand. For centuries it has been a powerful protective talisman for good luck and one of the most popular amulets in the Arab world.

 
BOOK OF ARABIA
Intrigued by the Arab way of life or traveling to an Arab country?
Book of Arabia is a complete guide benefiting anyone who’s interested in this rich and deeply rooted culture.
Written by Arab native C.Abi Rached who offers you “the reader” an insider’s perspective leaving no stone unturned in her attempt to bridge the gap between Arabs and non-Arabs and connect you with the diverse Arabic peoples and the Arab world.
Whether you are living, working, visiting or planning to open a business in an Arab country, Book of Arabia is a complete guide to familiarize yourself with Arab traditions, behavior, body language, hospitality, etiquette and other aspects of Muslim and non-Muslim Arab cultures alike.
With the changing of time, it has been easy to assume an Arab has the same kind of thinking and behaviour especially when there is a similarity in appearance, dress and lifestyle.
It is easier to remember differences when you are seated in a tent or a village house, only making it harder while you sit in the living room of a modern Arab home or office. This is especially true when the living room is decorated with modern, Western-style furnishings and filled with English-speaking Arabs.
