除了开暖气外，北部区域的大多数居民都会穿厚厚的冬季服装，特别是传统的毛皮大衣fur farwa(如下图）。有些家庭会采用复古的方式，比如围坐在篝火旁，烤着肉，吃着传统的美食Mansaf来暖身子。【当然是没有伏特加或者是二锅头。】
Apart from operating heaters most residents in the northern regions resorted to wearing heavy winter clothes especially the traditional fur farwa to escape the cold wave conditions. Some families revived the winter habits represented by sitting around the fire enjoying grilling meat and eating the Mansaf meal in order to warm the body.

毛皮大衣fur farwa：此处我暂且成为阿拉伯毛皮大衣。

Farwas认为是起源于叙利亚以及黎凡特（指地中海东部诸国及岛屿）地区，该地区的贝多因人在寒冷的冬季穿着此服装。

Farwas are believed to have originated from Syria and Levant where Bedouins would wear them during the cold winter months.

在海湾国家，这种长身扫地式毛皮内衬的大衣在日常生活中根深蒂固。

The long sweeping fur-lined overcoat has now established a firm foothold in countries all over the Gulf.

下图就是Mansaf 类似于手抓饭，做法还是有所不同：

Mansaf是一种传统的阿拉伯美食，用发酵的干酸奶酱和羊肉一起烹制，搭配米饭或一种本地全麦制品（bulgur）。在地中海东部诸国及岛屿地区非常流行。被认为是约旦的国菜，同样也存在于巴勒斯坦，科威特，沙特以及叙利亚等国家。

Mansaf is a traditional Arab dish made of lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt and served with rice or bulgur. It is a popular dish eaten throughout the Levant. It is considered the national dish of Jordan and can also be found in Palestine Kuwait Saudi Arabia and Syria.

本地全麦制品（bulgur）

沙特国土面积辽阔，跟以往的那种炎热干燥的红色沙漠不同，沙特的北部地区以及南部的山地等地区冬季的气温比较低，北部地区最低的时候低至零下5度。当然这个地方是没有市政供暖的，主要也是因为冷的时间比较短。如果是没有看过此文章的人，冬季去了沙特北部，肯定会冻的鼻涕都流下来了。
