Al-Kashkher Traditional Bedouin Weaving


Al-Kashkher Traditional Bedouin Weaving is located near Avdat, the ancient Nabataean city.

 Among the terraces and springs, the age-old traditions of sheep herding and wool weaving have been preserved.

In the past, the desert women wove the tents that were used during nomadic periods. Today, weaving has become a unique and useful art. The women shear the sheep in the spring, spin the wool into yarn, and weave rugs, cushions, handbags, and ornaments for the home on a traditional loom.
