Description: Al-Mudhif is a large arched building made of reed and papyrus that serves as a community gathering place and a space for transmitting traditional knowledge, norms and customs. The structures are built by skilled workers and managed by tribal sheiks, but the entire community plays a part in the creation and maintenance of the space, such as by collecting the reeds and weaving the mats and rugs that are used as mattresses inside the building. The practice is transmitted informally, through observation and hands-on practice.
