The Arab world is first and foremost bound together by language, but there are other common features that both point to a special understanding of space and a visual culture that draws traces from calligraphy over simple building elements to architecture on a very large scale. A picture of 'the Arab' will emerge through different stories from places where the significant developments are taking place right now.

The Arab world consists of more than twenty countries that have the one common feature that they have Arabic as their main language. In other words, languages ​​other than Arabic are spoken, religions other than Islam are practiced, the landscape varies – and this also affects lifestyle and architecture. It is not possible to speak of Arab culture in the singular.
