The Gargour is a traditional fish trap historically used by fishermen in the Arabian Gulf. Handwoven from natural materials like palm fronds, it is shaped to allow fish to enter easily but not escape. Over time, this distinctive woven design has become a cultural symbol of sustainability, resourcefulness, and Gulf heritage. Today, it’s creatively repurposed into baskets and decor items, blending tradition with modern function and meaning.
