A distinctive social tradition among the Persian Gulf people involves communal gatherings known as the "majlis", where friends and neighbors convene to discuss matters of mutual interest over cups of Arabic coffee. These gatherings occasionally serve as platforms for various forms of folk arts. In the past, the "dour," or spacious rooms designated for these gatherings, hosted seafarers, dhow captains (noukhadha), and enthusiasts of folk arts between pearl fishing seasons. Here, they engaged in al-samra, evenings of song and dance, which have become integral to Gulf heritage, celebrated during weddings and other occasions for entertainment.[1]
