The exhibition hosts some 25 display stands and stalls, ranging from home-made foods (mouneh), crafts, glass paintings, crochet and woolen items, bead creations, honey, aromatic herbs, rural soaps and engraved stainless steel products. Women participants at the exhibition (which lasts till March 5) come from Nabatiey, Tyre and surrounding villages, Saida and the capital Beirut. During the opening, Zakat Committee member, Shahinaz Kahwaji, stressed the purpose of the exhibition which, besides preserving heritage, aims to empower women and actively support them and acknowledge their presence in the Tyre community.
