Every region in the world has a culture unique to that area; from the grandeur of India, the oriental charm of the Far East and of course the mystic wonders on the Middle East. Travellers love exploring these culturally rich nations because there is such beauty and style to be admired, and they will find nothing less in Kuwait.
One of the things visitors to this nation will enjoy checking out is the forms of traditional weaving. These handicrafts date back centuries, some originating from the Bedouin people and some from the urban Kuwaitis. Several goods essential to these people were made by these forms of weaving, and they utilized attractive colours and interesting designs.
These handicrafts are definitely a part of the culture of Kuwait, but though they are stylish today, a few years back it was nearly a dying art. With the aim of preserving the nation’s heritage, the Bait Al Sadu, or the Sadu House was opened. It is a site where visitors can admire the beautiful textiles of Kuwait, and where people can also learn the techniques required to learning how to create these intricate pieces. For several years the project has been breathing life into the form of local art.
Beautifully located in a house that shows off traditional local architecture, the Sadu House is a fine place to visit. The house’s different rooms are used for various purposes, from galleries and an arts and crafts shop, to a library and section for events. Visitors can learn about the history of this art, and all the tales that surround it, and get a glimpse of what the nation would have been like in the past. While the house is open to the public, some may prefer to register to learn the methods behind the creations. Take back pieces of the nation’s tradition from the shop on site as a reminder of this beautiful culture. There are also lectures, seminars and exhibitions carried out here that are well enjoyed. The Bait Al Sadu is definitely a place to stop over at when in Kuwait.
After experiencing the nation’s age old traditions come back to a Kuwait resort that provides all the contemporary luxuries that visitors will need. A favourite among Kuwait hotels for its excellent location is Al-Jahra Copthorne Hotel & Resort, ideal for a memorable holiday.
