Visiting City of Alexandria in Egypt
Our visit to Desa Sasak Sade in Lombok offered an enriching experience, immersing us in the unique traditions and culture of the Sasak people. Renowned for its preservation of ancestral heritage, this traditional village showcases authentic Sasak architecture, lifestyle, and customs.
The traditional houses, or bale, are constructed using natural materials such as bamboo, wood, and thatched roofs. The floors, polished with a mixture of clay and cow dung, symbolize cleanliness and simplicity, reflecting the villagers' harmonious connection with nature.
We observed weaving demonstrations, where women craft intricate songket textiles using traditional looms. These vibrant fabrics are central to Sasak culture, often worn during ceremonies and as symbols of identity.
The guided tour provided insights into daily life, rituals, and beliefs, including traditional dances like the Peresean martial art performance, which embodies courage and strength. The villagers warmly shared their customs and stories, fostering a deep appreciation for their cultural richness.
Desa Sasak Sade is not just a tourist destination but a living testament to the enduring spirit of the Sasak community. The visit underscored the importance of preserving such heritage, offering a glimpse into a way of life deeply rooted in tradition.
