Khaleegy or Khaliji (from Arabic خليج) is a traditional folkloric dance from Arab Gulf, Arabic peninsula and the countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The name of the dance literally means “gulf” in Arabic and it is danced by local women in weddings and other social events. Recently it has become very popular among belly dancers. *Thanks Alla :) | Culturabia
