SOCIAL LIFE

   The visitors of Safita can easily notice the politeness and the kindness of the people. Although they belong in different religions and sects, their social relations are good, they are dressed the same way and have common folkways. All the residents participate in the feasts of their compatriots as well as in eachother's sad and happy circumstances. They are virtuous, responsible and simple and have also good manners. One of their habits is a warm welcome to any visitor, as they open their hearts before their houses, where the hospitality has no limits. An old habit that they kept up to our days is a walk in the streets from 9 to 10 in the evening, which is an excellent opportunity for social contacts.
