Traditional Arabic Greeting and Etiquette Illustration for Cultural Education #233371 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts two young males in traditional 19th- to early 20th-century Arab attire: one wears a tarboosh (fez) and long robe, gesturing openly; the other, in a wrapped headscarf and belted thobe, raises both hands in a gesture of courteous refusal or explanation. Their postures reflect Islamic and regional norms of non-confrontational dialogue, emphasizing humility and mutual respect. The simplicity of the drawing highlights cultural nuance over ornamentation.

Used in educational resources on Islamic culture, language learning materials, children’s moral stories, or intercultural communication guides-especially where illustrating concepts like adab (etiquette), salaam (greeting), or polite disagreement in Arabic-speaking societies.
