The Beni-Ourain rug is used daily in the lives of local Moroccans. They are used for everything from bed
covers to simple living room rugs. They can also be used for special occasions, like weddings. It is said that the women transfer their feelings into these rugs while crafting them.
Rebha is from Zaouia. She is now divorced and is the mother to one daughter. She learned to weave as a child and can make many different designs of rugs. She recently joined Association Zaouia in 2018, as a way to support her daughter.
She hopes her work will allow her to eventually buy a house for her and her daughter.
