Experiences at UiO

For our cultural blog project, our group wanted to explore Egyptian culture through food — one of the most authentic windows into a country’s identity.

We visited the boutique Nasser Palestine in Torshov where we had a conversation with the owner Ibrahim Nasser. Nasser was born and raised in Ramallah and has  deep conviction to share the Palestinian culture through food and poetry.

Our group agreed that the most interesting aspect of Arabic culture is the food. It’s not only the variety of spices that caught our interest, but also how important sharing food with loved ones is in Arabic culture.

This spring, us students of ARA B had the opportunity to improve our Arabic skills by making a podcast.
