Moroccan Wedding Tents ( square or rectangular with central poles )

SKU # MT01

These traditional Moroccan tents are made with 3 skins of material: heavy duty canvas, acrylic blackout fabric, and a choice of Moroccan lining motifs on the interiors or plain cream cotton. The exterior canvas can be made with black traditional Moroccan wedding tent motif or plain cream canvas (please see the gallery). These pole tents pack smaller and are quick to erect, and putting up and down for festivals or special events. These tents are ideal as yoga tents & event tents.

With these tents, the roof and the sides are delivered as 2 separate pieces. When pitching the texts, the roof is put up with the 2 vertical poles in place, once this is anchored to the ground, the sides or tent “walls” unravel and are laced to the roof. The smaller external side poles come inserted into the exterior “wall” lining. We also give the option for the tent walls to be 4 separate pieces, so that each section of can be removed or tied up separately for airflow, aesthetics or easy access.

All tents come with natural handmade ropes for pitching and silver balls to go on top of tent poles.

Please specify if a lining is needed. These can be 3 layers of goat skin or camel skin with a plastic lining and an interior lining. These tents naturally breath and dry out quickly as they are naturally woven by Saharawi women for this purpose. The natural tent's colour is black, over time this fades to dark brown.
