El Sahraoui

Tisaghness, is a distinctive garment deeply associated with the cultural identity of the people living in the Sahara. It is rooted in the traditions and practical needs of desert life.

Tisaghness is typically made from lightweight fabric, chosen for its breathability and ability to protect against the desert’s intense heat during the day while providing warmth during the cool nights.

Known also as Melhfa or Lizar, this long, flowing garment wraps around the body, covering the head and shoulders while leaving the face uncovered.

Tisaghness is worn daily by women in the desert, but it also plays a significant role in traditional ceremonies, such as weddings and religious gatherings. For such occasions, it may be paired with silver accessories.

Wearing the Tisaghness is a symbol of identity and cultural pride, particularly among Sahrawi and other Saharan communities in North and Central Africa.
