Arabian culture in Brunant

Arabs and people of Arab origins make a significant part of the Brunanter population. Arabian influence is seen in many aspects of life, including sports and arts.

History
The very first Arabs came to Brunant around 817-818. Unlike previous conquerors of the islands, they expanded their area and made other settlements. Many Arabs intermarried with the locals, which resulted in the formation of the Barzuna culture.

After the end of World War II, many north Africans and Middle-Eastern people came to what is now Arabian Quarter in Koningstad. A second wave of Arab immigrants arrived in the period 1990-2011. According to the Brunanter Institute of Statistics, the Arabs made 67% of the immigrants who came in Brunant during this period.
