RAFHA: The Yemeni population in the Saudi Arabian Northern Borders region’s Rafha governorate serves as a timeless example of social integration and cooperation. Yemeni citizens, who make up one of the governorate’s longest expatriate communities, have been integral to the region’s social and economic life for many years and have become an integral part of its local identity.
These ties become more apparent when the holy month of Ramadan approaches. In moments that evoke a sense of fraternity and mutual enrichment, ancient Yemeni customs fit well with the Kingdom’s Ramadan mood, highlighting the depth of a shared human experience in a nation that takes pride in its security, stability, and cultural diversity.
Yemeni citizens in Rafha told the Saudi Press Agency that they don’t feel alienated in the Kingdom because of the historical and social ties between the two peoples. They pointed out that iftar tables, which bring together relatives and neighbours of diverse ethnic backgrounds, are the most obvious way that Ramadan fosters a unifying environment where common values, most notably generosity, kinship, and social solidarity, converge.
From extended family get-togethers and the sharing of traditional foods to the observance of Ramadan evenings through prayer and group activities, Yemeni families take care to maintain their Ramadan customs as a manifestation of their cultural identity, according to Abdulrazzaq Al-Shuja’a.
