Zar is one of the few musical forms in which women play a central role. Its artistic significance stems from its relative isolation from external influences and exchanges, due to societal and state marginalization. This isolation has allowed it to preserve its original structure and ancient origins, which may date back to ancient Egypt. Zar is practiced throughout the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen, the Arabian Gulf, Iraq, and Iran. In Egypt, Zar is divided into three types: the Egyptian (Upper Egyptian) Zar, the Abu El Gheit Zar, and the Sudanese (African) Zar.
