 Al-Ayyala: What is it? Interest in traditional Emirati dance is rekindled by the Trump video.

The cultural showcase quickly circulated on social media, with many viewers expressing curiosity about the ceremony.

A traditional Emirati dance performance, which included women in white robes swaying their long hair, was presented as part of US President Donald Trump's official reception at Qasr Al Wat

tan in Abu Dhabi during his recent visit to the United Arab Emirates.

Social media users expressed interest in the occasion as the cultural exhibition spread swiftly.

Known as "Al-Ayyalah," the performance is a traditional art form of the Gulf Arabs and a symbolic representation of wartime solidarity. In the United Arab Emirates and northern Oman, it is frequently done at weddings, festivals, and national events. In Al-Ayyalah, ladies dance in line, tossing their hair in time with the sound of traditional drums, while males use bamboo canes to make coordinated moves.
