Al Khoos

Crafting using palm fronds, or safafa, is one of the UAE’s original handicrafts, especially in areas where palm trees are abundant. Many household necessities, furniture and agricultural tools, as well as means to store and transport dates, are produced with this craft. Adding to the aesthetic versatility of palm products, wicker can be carved, braided and dyed with natural dyes, available in bright and beautiful colours.
