These are traditional midmakh (adobe brick) homes in Najran,
Saudi Arabia. Their design is very distinctive reflecting the
influence of Yemen nearby. The buildings are over several storeys
high. The ground floor is for livestock, the next for the family,
with small windows to keep out intruders and the heat and as you
go up the building, the windows get larger to let in more light
and air. |
