 In the Levant, the traditional "dabkeh" is popular.Other versions of the "zaffa" can be found in North Africa and the Arabian peninsula as well as the "khaliji"; the "zaffa" even reached Malaysia with the first Arab traders, called the Zapin.After the "zaffa" / "zefaf", the bride and the groom (this is mostly in Egypt) sit on a dais, or "kosha" (), which usually consists of two comfortable seats in front of the guests, from which the bride and groom reign as though king and queen.
