his research is an attempt to
illustrate general image of the pattern of spending time among the Ayyubid
Kings in Bilad Al-Sham and Al-Jazeera (589_658A.H/ 1193_1259 A.D). In the
present paper, the light is shed on their private, secret and formal lives,
away from political and military lives by examining how they spent their
holidays and leisure times. All this information is supported by a bunch of
resurces in which some of them were primary that have been obtained from their
period.Although
Ayyubid Kings were fighting and struggling in civil war and they were in
continuous war against crucifiers; and other who headed towards their region,
these were not barriers to spend their normal lives and they brought leisure to
their lives. However, some of them spent their lives in various patterns; for
instance, doing some physical and ethical activities such as hunting, riding
horses, playing Polo (suljan), target shooting, and other mental or
intellectual gammes (chess and backgammon). In addition, they spent a lot of
money in their mansion for relaxation and happiness, such as participating in
philosophical and intellectual meetings. Moreover, they were also listening to
songs and music and dedicating a special time for wine drinking. Besides those,
they had many particular trips, picnics and vacations to stunning and wonderful
places to have some fun.
