Akhmim to Europe: Weaver's Heritage Journey
The article explores the journey of Haj Abdel Sabor Hreidi, known as "The Master Weaver," who has preserved the craft of handmade textiles in the city of Akhmim in Sohag Province, Egypt. He began his career in the city, which was renowned for its textile and natural silk industries, before relocating with his colleagues to the Weaver Village in Al-Kawthar District in 1993, with the aim of safeguarding this ancestral profession. Despite challenges, including reduced support and rising costs after 2011, handmade textile products continue to be exported to local and international markets. Notable visits by public figures have highlighted the quality and cultural significance of these products. Hreidi emphasizes the importance of supporting the industry and calls for the preservation of the Weaver Village as a center of authentic Egyptian heritage. He affirms that this craft provides livelihood to hundreds of families and represents a vital part of Egypt's cultural legacy.
