Al-Qatt and Sadu
Al-Qatt and Sadu are traditional and creative arts of Saudi Arabia that have made it to UNESCO’s lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Al-Qatt is traditionally done by women as a means of decorating a home’s interior. Sadu weaving has been practiced by those living in the Arabian Peninsula since ancient times and, in turn, those living in Saudi Arabia since its inception.
