Culture in Gaza1. History

Because of its location at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe, Palestine has been the battleground of the great powers in the region throughout its history.

2. Food in daily life

Palestinians often buy snacks or light meals from street vendors as they go about their daily business. It is customary to eat the main meal between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. Many dine on falafel, sandwiches made with balls of deep-fried hummus, or grilled lamb sandwiches, called shawarma.

Drinking coffee or tea is a major social activity for Palestinian men, and conversations and business deals often end with several cups.

Food customs at ceremonial occasions : A favorite dish served at weddings, feasts, and funerals is mensaf, a large platter of rice covered with a rich lamb or goat stew and pine nuts.

3. Social stratification

At one extreme are the Palestinians who were educated in private schools and often lived in the United States or Europe. Many of the returnees get the best jobs through social or political connections, and many flaunt their money and automobiles. At the other extreme are the majority of Palestinians, those who have lived in Palestine throughout the Israeli occupation and who spend their days doing menial chores in poverty.

4. Religion

Muslims are the predominant religious group in Palestine, comprising around three quarters of the population.

Islam is inseparable from day to day life, so religion, politics, and culture are all bound together in Muslim communities.

Famous Place also known as al-Aqsa, is the third holiest site in Sunni

Islam and is located in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Masjid al-Aqsa translates from Arabic into English as "the farthest mosque." The name refers to a chapter of the Qur'an called "The Night Journey" in which it is said that Muhammad traveled from Mecca to "the farthest mosque," and then up to Heaven on a heavenly creature called al-Buraq al-Sharif
