Description: Traditional weaving of Al Sadu refers to the traditional woven textile made by Bedouin women: in Arabic, ‘Al Sadu’ means weaving done in a horizontal style. It is a form of warp-faced plain weave made on a ground loom using natural fibres. The cloth forms a tightly woven, durable textile, with the patterns reflecting the desert environment. The primary bearers of Al Sadu are older Bedouin women, who play a key role in transmitting skills to others. Nowadays, Al Sadu has become less a functional object than an object signifying a tradition and a deep culture.
