Al-Mahala is a great place to learn and teach all kinds of things about cultures along the Silk Road (and North Africa, and many other places). From boot-making to dance to poetry, the range of possibilities is vast. We need your help to build the class schedule, though! If you taught last year, please consider teaching again.
If you still wish to teach a class we do have some space – please submit it via the main Gulf Wars class submission form and indicate Al Mahala as the area in which you wish to teach the class.
