Located in the Bedouin village of Lakiya, about 6km north of Be’er Sheva off Rte 31, this centre was established in 1991 as an income-generating project for Bedouin women living in villages in the Negev, providing them with an opportunity to develop the tradition of spinning and weaving, and to acquire new skills in dyeing, production and business management. It conducts tours (reserve in advance) and sells the carpets, cushions and accessories that are produced by its members.
