Aghabani Embroidery: A Syrian Tradition of Art and Heritage

Aghabani embroidery is a cherished textile tradition deeply intertwined with the cultural fabric of Damascus, Syria, and its surrounding towns, particularly Duma in the Ghuta region. More than just an art form, Aghabani embroidery embodies the heritage, resilience, and meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations. Though Damascus merchants played a significant role in popularizing this craft globally, its true heart lies in the skilled hands of Duma’s women, who have refined these intricate embroidery techniques over the years.

Mother's Day in the Middle East

Mother’s Day is celebrated on March 21 in the Middle East, marking the start of spring. A mother’s scent is what children recollect the most. Years after separation, children will recall their mother’s scent when they remember moments with them even as adults. Laurel soap scent is one of these common scents that most Syrian children remember when they think of their mothers.
