The culture of Palestinians is influenced by the many diverse cultures and religions which have existed in the historical region of Palestine and the state of Palestine. The cultural and linguistic heritage of Palestinian Arabs along with Lebanese, Syrians, and Jordanians is integral part of levantine Arab culture[1]
Cultural contributions to the fields of art, literature, music, costume and cuisine express the Palestinian identity despite the geographical separation between the Palestinians from the Palestinian territories, Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinians in the diaspora.[2][3]
Palestinian culture consists of food, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of Palestinian culture. The folklorist revival among Palestinian intellectuals such as Nimr Sirhan, Musa Allush, Salim Mubayyid, and others emphasized pre-Islamic cultural roots.
Palestine's significant intangible cultural heritage has been recognised by UNSECO, with a first inscription for Palestinian hikaye made in 2008 to its list of intangible cultural heritage.[4] This was followed by a further listing in 2021 for Palestinian embroidery,[5] and joint listings with other Arab States for calligraphy and knowledge and use of the date palm.[6][7]
