Abstract

This study aims to describe the Sayyang Pattu'du' tradition in Lero Village, the strategy for developing the Sayyang Pattu'du tradition as a sharia tourism attraction, and the existence of the Sayyang Pattu'du' tradition on the development of sharia tourism in Lero Village. The type of research used in this research is field research. The data in this study were obtained from primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques used are interview and documentation techniques. The findings of this study indicate that the Sayyang Pattu'du’ (dancing horse) tradition in Lero village exists because it is performed every two years during the month of the Prophet's Occasion. The implementation process begins at night with both a Khatam Al-Qur'an and Mabbarazanji event, continues until midday with a Maulid Nabi event, and concludes with a horse dancing event accompanied by tambourine beats and other series. This tradition is a tourism resource that can be offered to tourists, so the village government's development of sharia tourism is to provide facilities and infrastructure, as well as the active participation of the village government and local communities. Because it contains religious values, the existence of the Sayyang Pattu'du tradition in the development of sharia tourism is highly beneficial. This tradition also could support and encourage children to learn, acknowledge, and appreciate the Qur'an.
