Architecture of the Middle East:

First picture is an ancient village pronouced "Bait Bous" in English that dates back to the BC era. It was updated a few hundred years ago. Very few people live there because of the lack of anything resembling a modern convenience.

This window is typical of the architecture of many middle eastern homes. The beautiful stained glass that was everywhere really surprised me.

This architectural wonder, the famous Dar al-Hadschar Palace (Rock House), which was erected on a rock standing in the valley. There was an architect from Mexico traveling with us and he was amazed at the layout and features of this huge structure.
