Arabic Culture Day is to be Held at SUSU

On April 6, in the frameworks of Vmeste (Together) Festival, the Arabic Culture Day is to be held at South Ural State University.

International students from Arab countries will introduce the architecture and art of their countries to the audience, and show them the most famous sights and ancient cities. All the stories will be accompanied with Arabic songs, dances and poems about the countries.
