Al-Bushindi's Journey to Renown in New Valley
The article discusses the development of Al-Bashindy Village in Balat Center, New Valley Governorate, which has depended on handmade carpet and kilim weaving for centuries. It covers its long history from ancient times to modern initiatives. The village began establishing its craft and carpet-making industry, along with weaving looms, in 1984 through community efforts and support from international organizations. This contributed to creating employment opportunities and income for local residents. In October 2025, the United Nations World Tourism Organization selected the village as part of a program to develop tourist villages, aiming to enhance rural tourism potential, preserve heritage, and promote handmade products. This initiative encourages economic and tourism benefits and ensures the sustainability of local activities.
