The last phase is weaving during which the threads are connected with each other to have a final product,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al-Zaabout said bedouin woman was decorating the sadu with shapes from her environment, like camels, horses and trees, and using vivid colors like red and orange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> One of the most important sadu products was a tent made from wool, he said, and it was protecting bedouins from scorching summer and harsh winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other products, he added, were bags to store rice, decorations for the camels or ropes to tie the camels&#8217; legs.
