Traditional Arabic Tent 

Arabian Tents are also called Bedouin Tents. The name Bedouin has been derived from Bedouin, the desert where many Arabian clans and tribes thrived. These traditional Arabian Tents comprise of a black tent called house of hair or beit al-shar. The tents are fabricated with the goat and sheep hair, and many believe that the tents have originated from Mesopotamia.

Process Of Contriving:

The process of designing the tents involves weaving the hair into copious strips of cloth. All the strips are sewn together. The black goats’ hair is mostly used for making these tents. The use of dyes and other colouring methods are avoided. The sheep wool is used for introducing hints of brown colour.

There are other reasons for including sheep’s wool for sewing the tent even if it’s of black colour. One reason being it makes the tents durable. After the cloth has been successfully sewn onto a long rectangle, they are elevated over the poles with the aid of ropes. The poles are called ‘amdan’ and the ropes are called ‘atnab’.

Size:

One can attain them in slew of sizes. Usually families like to procure those tents that have half meter long narrow strips and have 2 poles to support them whereas affluent sheikhs prefer to obtain tents with 20mm long 6 broad strips and, having 4 poles to support the tents. The both sizes of tents are very portable.

The Interior Of Tent:

The middle of the tents is embellished with beautiful drapery called ‘qata’. The ‘qata’ is basically used for the purpose of dividing the inside of the tent into two different sections. While one side is for women, the other side of the tent is only for men. The section reserved for women is usually larger in comparison to men’s section. No man can have a look at the women’s section apart from the owner. There are tent flaps called ‘ruaq’, which are hinged to the sides of tent. They are usually used to enclose the whole tent especially at sleeping hours in the night.
