This thread is dedicated to the people, history, and culture of the Middle East and North Africa region, usually defined as the area from Morocco to Iran, encompassing the area that share a linguistic and religious unity but with incredibly diverse local and regional differences.
Post food, about Islam, Arabic language, questions and anything else. Summoning the regular Syrian, Iranian and other MENA nations.

some background about me is that I am an inspiring arabic major and a """""scholar""""" on middle east politics and history, taking some classes on muslim history and two classes deep in arabic.
this summer at the end of the semester, I am heading to Marrakesh for a study abroad trip lasting one month.
generally enjoy talking middle east with people who sorta know what they are talking about, want a qt 3.14 assadist Sourian gf or Iranian babe (pic related). Don't know enough (like many) to have a discussion on Islam.
Here's a rare citadel pic in Souria
roman theater in Bosra, المسرح الروماني ببصرى.
" Ancient Roman theatre in Bosra, in the district of Dar'a in south-western Syria.[1]:143 It was built in either the second quarter[2]:53 or the second half of the second century AD,[1]:143 and is constructed of black basalt. It was built outside the walls of the town, but was later completely enclosed by an Ayyūbid fortress.[1]:141
The theatre is 102 metres across and has seating for about 15,000 people; it is thus among the largest of the Ancient Roman civilisation. It is also one of the best preserved. It was substantially restored between 1947 and 1970, before which it contained large quantities of sand, which may have helped to protect the interior.[1]:14"
Citadel of Damascus; Our syrians in /sg/ syria general were able to visit this.
here's a rare asma assad, one of the most beautiful first ladies in the world.
more shameless self-bumps till someone sees this posts and replys :'( someone speak arabic with me :((
no israel posters and no turks either
perhaps arab babes will attract /cunts/
fuck islamists and the suadis for pushing their interpreation of islam for politcal gains, it ruins the history and the people in the region for their short term benefit. their army is SHIT and the people they support are beheaders in syria.
long live the houthi rebellion
>he thinks quality thredas on /MENA/ are possible
Alright genrich pop by and fuck this thread up as usual
honestly I don't know anywhere else on the net where I can talk to syrians and iranians, the purpose of the post was to summon those folks. there is literally no where else I can talk to middle east autists besides here and /sg/.. it's sorta awesome in that way.
know anything about the mid east, hollander?

like ants i tell ya
without being put on a list. I'm in an egpytian shitposting group but other than that I'm not comfortable with putting all my assad sympathies on there if I'm trying to get a job with defense industry.
how is your day, do you like shawarma?
انا شرموتا!
>my assad sympathies

bruh all I want is peace and to oppose zionism, I meme around with assad. are you the one in damas?
DO YOU LIKE SHAWARMA
cmon souriee just banter with me faggot
>DO YOU LIKE SHAWARMA
i don't answer stupid questions
the plausible question is HOW do you like shawarma. and i like it just i like my women, THIK , juicy with cream on the face.
Recommend me a tv show for a beginner in Sup Forums. Whats your opinion on the walking dead?
>mena
>history
this. we arabs are so pathetic we remained part of the ottoman empire for over 1000 years.
why do you think we have no culture or natural identity?
qa6'ayif
what do they put on syrian shawarma? I used to work on an egyptian food truck and we had beef or chicken, along with spinach, tomato and onion; this was coupled with fresh bread from soumaya bakery. soumayasonsbakery.com
hey magrebi what should i do to get hashish in morocco as a foreigner? also, any travel tips or what I should see?
also, history: "In December 1777, Moroccan sultan Muhammad III included the United States of America in a list of countries to which Morocco’s ports were open. Morocco thus became the first country whose head of state publicly recognized the new United States.[1] Relations were formalized with the Moroccan–American Treaty of Friendship negotiated by Thomas Barclay, and signed by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Muhammad III in 1786.[2][3]"
>can write about fucking almohads
>writes about some irrelevant recognition just because it includes us
orientalism 101
Why do they fill their lips with collagen like this, hate girls with big lips here
>Whats your opinion on the walking dead?
i could go on for days about the walking dead. but for short it's like this:
the good parts are good. but the bad parts are REALLY fucking bad. too much meaningless stuffing. the production value goes down as the seasons progress, even though the show grows more successful. i can recommend the first season easy. but the later seasons are much harder to.
shows for beginners i would recommend:
obviously Breaking Bad, Sopranos, The Wire. Westworld. can't go wrong with any of these.
first 2 seasons of Community.
The Americans: probably the best thing on television right now. no joke.
first season of Homeland
The Knick
i assume you know about game of thrones. that is a different discussion all together.
things to avoid:
99% of the shows produced or made for netflix. specifically the Marvel capeshit. (jessica jones daredevil etc.)
the exception is Narcos. Narcos has fantastic moments are wonderful acting.
Mr Robot
no matter how much people tell you to watch Mr Robot, refuse.
it's shit. inexcusable shit.
sherlock. it has nice acting. the cinematography is unique. story is meh at best
>spinach, tomato and onion
i threw up a little.
Almohads were pretty shit
The only based thing they did was clean up the religious mess the maghreb was into nice sunni green
>That pic
Westerners are so fucking gullible holy shit slap a cute girl on anything and you win
>post says MENAboo
I read all the Ed Said shit just lemme indulge in your history m8, it's really interesting and westerners usually don't go beyond saying "fuck ISIS and Islam"
drop redpills on almohads and also personally I think it's sorta dope america's first allyship or recognition came from Morocco, they also arrested Confederates during the civil war. and what does your name mean, al-sarbe? I can read characters but don't know what they mean
al-sudani are there babes in sudan or is it just famine? love to learn more about it but we don't see much but headlines about massacres occasionally
pic related where do i find qt artist gf
don't you know arabs and ottomans were very similar till now we have partially the same traditions and culture and islam is why ottoman empire occupied all arab territory freely back then.
please shut it up you ignorant.
>what do they put on syrian shawarma?
syrian shawarma is just chicken, pickles, garlic-mayo cream. optional pomegranate sauce and hot sauce.
that's it.
beef shawarma has onions and parsley and some sauce. don't have it usually.
let me have my orientalist fantasy, magrebi. otherwise it's swallowing the assad-must-go pill
There are, of all shades of brown and black, they've been really pushing it
>waist tight shirts and apple-bottom skirts in public transport
Just marry a rich one if you're interested, she might even provide an apartment, car and job if she's from one of the business families
>into nice sunni green
Stop playing Europa Memeversalis
But Assad MUST go :^)
I fucking hate Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians. I consider them to be subhumans of the lowest order, even below some species of animal. I would rather spend time with a dog than with a Maghrebi subhuman, because a dog has virtuous qualities whereas a Maghrebi is an all-around subhuman.
it's al-Sirbii, "the serb"
the pomegranate sauce sound delicous, I love pomergrante juice and eating the little gems when I have a full one. so tasty. is the shawarma still served on the roller like this one?
>because a dog has virtuous qualities
So a dog let you fuck it and a qt Maghrebi didn't?
Same
>is the shawarma still served on the roller like this one?
it is literally the only way. we wouldn't call it shawarma otherwise.
كس أمك
love to see it. what other dishes could be considered syrian? what was your favorite growing up?
pic related, the place I used to cook for.
>كس أمك
more arabic curse words you kalb
maghrebis are still vastly superior so fuck off =]
really ? here it's served on flatbread and looks like a gyro.
most of what syrians cook is a variation of a turkish dish. like dolma or rice-stuffed zucchini, kibbeh. i couldn't tell you a wholly syrian dish. maybe some of the hummus or foold dishes. or the ones involving sheep entrails, hooves and head/tongue.
that wasn't me
أيري فيك
my dick in you
أيري بطيزك
My dick in your ass
تلحس أيري
Lick my dick
if it has has pistachios that's how you know it's syrian.
>pistachios
just the sweets. we don't cook with it.
in amreeki it is served as a gyro and always sold as it too unless you go to an arab place. excited to try street food and the fresh fish in morocco. anything I should watch out for? very curious, gonna be there from may 15 to june 15. I was told it's gonna be very hot.
I've had kibbeh before and some more lebanese-ish dishes at our local plebanese place. sounds delish though, post pics if you can. and still, more curse words or funny shit I can say to my freinds
have some maghrebi curses :
سير تحوى/تقود go fuck yourself
ينعل طبون مك curse your mum's cunt
تقود عليا fuck off
Shakiriyah you fucking dummy.
Also that stuff called sha5tooraa
Yes of course Arabs were treated as equals in the Empire which is why at around the late 1800s and earl 1900s Arab populations mostly consisted of rural peasants and nomads whereas Anatolia and Constantinople were quite better off.
this really isn't me
i don't like tongue too much. it's really chewy. my grandma makes it into fatteh (pic). but really you can make anything into fatteh (chicken, chickpeas, lamb)
>sha5tooraa
indeed. not into it.
>Shakiriyah
probably turkish too
nice dubs; I love me some baklava and spinach pies.
how do you pronounce dick out loud? vowels on top of alif always fuck me up, would it be Ueeree? reeeeeeeeeeee help me
NO. It's a 100% pure syrian dish. Also man2oshe is syrian/leb. Also I love Syrian bread > Egypshaan bread > Libnani bread
>Ueeree
It's like Airy. But not sure desu. Just vocaroo it.
In terms of Arab countries there isn't specific cuisine limited to one country it's generally across the board just with minor different variations of spices and ingredients .
there's nothing better than hot piece of bread with some zatar and olive oil
kys whore
no مصري you have to stay. whats sha5toora?
thank you based maghrebi. also, do you have any opinion on the amazeigh/berber name? I always tell people amazeigh then I explain how berber isn't right, it's sorta PC but my professor for mideast history is a left-leaning turk.
related to that pic, I love the use of pistacios/almonds and other nuts in cooking. adds wonderful texture and taste. what did you eat today?
Have you seen Don't breathe?
Also since you're Sup Forumsfag what's your opinion on Prison Break? Only S1-2 the rest is heresy of course
It's literally Air (أير). When I was a kid I would laugh every time I heard the English teacher say it.
So أيري is Airee
is pistachio ice cream good ?
it's gonna be very hot and dry if you go to somewhere like marrakesh but there's also cool places like ifran i would recommend you go to agadir, the food here is mostly middle eastern/mideterranean plus a few original dishes, definetly try out moroccan tajine, kouskous, chebakiya, ghribiya, feqqas, makroud, and most importantly pastilla both the fish and chicken variants.
Mmmm, true :d
And with some akawi cheese too
How is Moroccan boipucci?
Iran American here, never understood why Persian women insist on looking slutty and acting like everyone owes them everything
Way too manly for my taste
6/10
When are you going back to Iran
based sa3ood
>Middle Eastern cheese
>Anything but geymar
kindly kys
call em berber or amazigh or chleuh no one gives a shit, berber name is actualy pretty badass imo (i'm a souss berber btw).
is this the same thing as the kaymak?
>what did you eat today?
grandma sent me some green fool cooked in olive oil. had it with laban and lemon squeeze.
>Have you seen Don't breathe?
yeah it was real fun. 10/10
>Prison Break?
i haven't seen it since it first aired. i remember thinking it was the best. the second season was just stupid. they literally put themselves into a different prison so they can break out or something.
the show is cheesy. characters are one dimensional and story is mostly trash. watch the first season and abandon it.
>is pistachio ice cream good ?
yes it is. i prefer the damascus milk only icecream with whole pistachios in it though.
that cheese is pornographic when warm.
no its the same as kossomak
bro is the pigeon pastilla worth it? that's what I am most excited to try, but i'll look at the other dishes too. We will be based in marrakesh which will be cool, heading around to see ruins, but my arabic teacher is so fucking laid back and relaxed he hasn't told us anything. it helps he is a magrebi though so I am pumped. don't really know the langauge too well but i heard just say inshallah all the time and i'll be able to get around kek
topkek thank you, that's hilarous
>persians
idk and idc they are babes, more persian qts please
for debate: what's better, regular falafel or tameeya?
Hello fellow niggers
>Egyptian
>Sanskrit looking font
Hmm

pic related is morroccan breakfast, moroccan diet is very high on carbs and i'm trying to get more protein for gains, gimme protein mena dishe suggestions.
>fool falafel

hey plebanon, I have a lot of freinds in my hometown from a small village called khfarsgharb, good food and beautiful women. maronite qts.
what's a suss berber? different tribal stuff? any info is cool im into shit like that. it does sound cool but it also sounds like barbarian kek
fuck that sounds tasty, tell gma this evil amreeki user said hello and sorry for the tomahawks
also, pistachio ice cream is my favorite. it just works so well and as a kid I loved the green color.

pic is damascus
FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING ANNOYING C*NT
Hey, i wanted to ask, why so many khaleejis name their kids "turki"? What does it represent as a name(bedouins don't like turks)?
>pigeon pastilla
that's some fancy shit right there, also try amlou it's a berber peanut butter that uses argan oil (from argan which ony grows in the souss region of morocco) and almonds, make sure you get the real deal cuz some might scam you and try to sell you peanut and olive oil trash.
try mjadara. lentil is high in protein.
it also tastes wonderful
>which caliphate best calipahte?
all equally shit
>sorry for the tomahawks
there where literal pro trump partying in damascus when trump won. the look on the alawis faces after the tomahawks is the best thing ive seen since the failed ardogan coop disappointment in damascus.
>and sorry for the tomahawks

It was worth it friend, clearly :)
...
i bet you're in the garbage facebook group >implying we can talk about eygpt
such a bad cunt I can never spell it right. Sad!!
nice desu i thoughly enjoyed my Muslim world history from 630-1405 class, learned a lot about the caliphates and the way words and other things were transfered to europe.
does anyone have an opinion on crusades?
>pic is damascus
not without the black pillars of smoke from all corners it isn't.
souss are the chleuhs of the souss-massa region.
because one word in one culture and language doesnt necessarily mean the same in another culture..
Why is America named after Amerigo Vespucci, but you wont find any Americans naming their children this... but im sure its a fine name to many Italians... same difference.. right? You dumb irrelevant piece of shit. But I will forgive you because in fact, just yesterday i was thinking about it in my thoughts so I will answer
and Turki is kind of a high-end name, if i am not mistaken it is common among Royal family.
Turki was the first son for King Abdulaziz but didnt live long, born in 1901 and died in 1919 before the foundation of saudi.
it means "handsome".. its just a name like Joe or Bob is in the west.. nothing more to think about..
funny though.. I guess its not as common here in the eastern province.. I dont think I know anyone currently in my group of friends or relatives named Turki now that I think about it... The only guy I know was a friend of my husbands when we were in univeristy in USA and he was from Jeddah (not the eastern province)
Turko Algerian detection
drinking is pretty underwhelming, but i'm convinced tangier hash is best, they might try to scam you with the prices but it's actually very cheap.
