Abstract
The study of means of entertainment and amusement during the Zengid era (579-521 AH / 1127-1183 AD) in the Levant is one of the important studies as it is a link between other studies that preceded it and then that followed the Zengid era in the Levant. In fact, the events of the history of the Zengid state are very important, because they An Islamic state was formed at one of the most critical stages of Islamic history, as the Islamic world was exposed to a Western European attack known as the (Crusades). These wars were a dangerous attack and full of accidents and tribulations. It seems that the study of entertainment and amusement in the Levant in the Zengid era did not receive much attention from historians and researchers, and that country did not receive its share of specialized research in that field. Moreover, most modern studies were limited to the political aspect, and neglected the other aspect of the means of entertainment and amusement, which had a role. had a significant impact on the living and social life of the population. Previous studies had paid attention to the personalities of Imad al-Din Zengi and Nur al-Din Mahmoud, and dealt with studying the era of the Crusades and others. So we decided to study the other side of the Zengid state, which is the means of entertainment and amusement, in order to know how that state was formed and how and what are.
