The Beit Sahour (بيت ساحور) Kufiya is more than a scarf — it's a tribute to the rich soil, history, and spirit of a town rooted in ancient tradition. Known as the “House of Dawn,” Beit Sahour lies in a peaceful valley near Bethlehem and holds deep significance in Christian heritage as the site of the Shepherds’ Field, where the birth of Jesus was first announced.

Our Hirbawi Beit Sahour Keffiyeh, featuring a brown background with black zigzags, captures the essence of this land — humble, steadfast, and full of meaning. Whether you call it a keffiyeh, shemagh, or kufiya, this traditional Palestinian scarf woven in Hebron represents dignity, cultural resilience, and sacred memory.

Every Beit Sahour Keffiyeh is woven on vintage looms in our Hebron factory using a durable blend of cotton and polyester — strong enough for daily use and light enough for all seasons. The high thread quality ensures your scarf dries quickly and keeps its form with minimal care.

Small imperfections may appear, as each keffiyeh is produced under occupation and with limited resources. These marks are part of its authenticity — a reminder that real heritage is never mass-produced. Whether worn as a shemagh, scarf, or shoulder wrap, your purchase sustains local artisans and helps preserve Palestinian Christian heritage in one of the last communities of its kind.
