The Saudi Flower Men, belong to the ‘Men of Alma’’ village in the Asir province, South of Saudi Arabia since the fifties.
They celebrate their heritage, culture and nature by adorning colourful flower crowns on their heads. The crowns would consist of herbs, flowers and grasses that are worn by the men, for the sake of beauty and health.
Some men wear the crown on a daily basis, while others wear it during special occasions.
