Al-Qasr (traditional tent)

Al-Qasr is a traditional Middle Eastern tent made from woven fabric, often used by Bedouin tribes and nomadic communities. Designed for durability and portability, it provides shelter from harsh desert conditions such as heat, wind, and sand. Typically, the fabric is tightly woven and sometimes decorated with patterns or symbols reflecting cultural heritage. The tent’s structure is supported by wooden or metal poles, allowing it to be easily assembled and disassembled. Al-Qasr serves not only as functional shelter but also as a communal space for social gatherings, cultural practices, and family life in desert environments.
