Sadu House

Situated right next to the National Museum of Kuwait on Gulf Road, Bait Al Sadu (Sadu House) is a stunning, traditional Kuwaiti-styled house that has been transformed into a cultural center. In 1980, it was built by the Al Sadu Society with a view to protecting the Bedouins’ interests and unique handicrafts. The term "Al Sadu” can be broadly translated as “moving at the pace of a camel" and is used to refer to their weaving process, woven products, and ground loom.

The building was originally a mud house. Unfortunately, it was damaged by the Kuwaiti floods in 1936. Eight years later, Sadu House decided to register 300 Bedouin women, and they were manufacturing approximately seventy items per week. Guests visiting Sadu House will have opportunities to admire a variety of weaved products. Furthermore, they can also watch a fascinating documentary on the many techniques and history of the Bedouin tribes, as well as the significance of weaving in their daily life.
