Ethnic group
Arab Peruvians are Peruvian -born citizens who are of fully or partially of Arab descent, whose ancestors were Arabs who emigrated to Peru as part of the Arab diaspora or Arab-born people in Peru. Arab presence in Peru dates back to the Viceregal era , with later waves of immigration taking place in the context of major events, such as the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the Nakba .
The Arab diaspora has left its legacy in several aspects of Peruvian culture , such as in Lima 's mudéjar -influenced architecture, as seen in the balconies of Lima ; in food, as seen with alfajores , turrones , marzipans , alfeñiques , the mazamorra , among others; in dance, as seen with the sarabande and the zamba .[ 2]
