Ancient Tent-Making Craft Persists, Northern Borders Women Keep Tradition Alive.

As winter approaches: tent-making. This craft, passed down through generations, is a testament to the region's rich cultural heritage and the generosity of its people. According to Saudi Press Agency, local women, like Umm Nada, skillfully transform goat and sheep hair into sturdy tents of various sizes and colors. Armed with traditional tools, these artisans dedicate three to seven days to weave each intricate piece. The process is not merely a task, but a social gathering where women recite traditional poetry while working. The finished tents, priced between SAR1,600 and SAR6,000, are highly sought after by families seeking an authentic experience in the region's vast wilderness. With its moderate winter climate, the Northern Borders region attracts nature enthusiasts who often set up camp in traditional tents adorned with intricate engravings. This blend of tradition and modernity continues to captivate visitors and preserve the region's cultural heritage.
