Textile
The region of Tataouine has very ancient traditions of textile production where wool and local dye plants are combined to create several items of textiles to furnish the home and also to wear. Intricate motifs, often in different colours, embellish the textiles. The Mergum, a type of rug, best represents the ancient weaving craft in Tataouine. This is traditionally woven with a loom specifically designed to fit perfectly inside the traditional Tatoiune home carved in the rock.
