Bedouin Handicafts
Tradditionally Bedouin women would weave the family tent from goat or camel hair, and be
responsible for the setting up and the packing of the tent when the family would move on to new lands.
Today Bedouin women make beautiful handicrafts including woven rugs, necklaces, bracelets and
burkas. These are usually embroidered or embellished with beads, sequins and coins using tradditonal
designs passed down through the generations. Bedouin children are often found selling these beauitful
crafts around Dahab town centre. Many shops also sell these locally made items on behalf of the
Bedouin families.
