Week 1: Abou Eid Society

The Sheikh (شيخ) of Arab Abou Eid lives in Syria. Thus, there was a need among Arab Abou Eid to choose a local leader under the title of a prince. Ali, the husband of our contact person Hamreh, was given the honour of being the prince of Arab Abou Eid.

In Arab Abou Eid society, the male is always superior to the female under any condition. The female should always show respect to the male.

Arab Abou Eid maintain tight social relations among each other. They provide support and help to each other indefinitely. For example, you can easily observe the help given by the members of Arab Abu Eid to Hamreh in managing her shop.
