Saudi Artisan Showcases Six Decades of Al-Sadu Weaving Heritage at Falcons Exhibition

   Riyadh, October 10, 2026, SPA -- Saudi artisan Lahdah Al-Enezi, known in her community as "Umm Al-Sadu," is showcasing over six decades of traditional Al-Sadu weaving expertise at the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition, offering visitors live demonstrations and insights into one of the Kingdom's most enduring intangible heritage crafts.
   Al-Enezi, who began learning the craft at age 13, highlighted Al-Sadu's deep historical ties to Bedouin life. The technique involves spinning, dyeing, and hand-weaving wool on traditional looms to produce intricate geometric patterns used for desert dwellings, home furnishings, and camel and horse accoutrements.
   Her displayed works range from traditional tent tapestries and saddlebags to modern decorative textiles, wall hangings, and accessories. Dedicated to keeping the craft alive, Al-Enezi has trained 46 women in authentic weaving methods, ensuring generational transfer of traditional textile skills.
   Her live weaving sessions form part of the cultural pavilion at the exhibition, which highlights authentic Saudi handicrafts and celebrates the artisans dedicated to preserving national heritage.
