Al-Ghabr village

The village of Al-Ghabur is located in the Al-Baha area of the Al-Sarat Mountains, which is one of the heritage villages located on a low-height rocky slope, and consists of a number of adjacent and adjacent residential buildings that were built on the sloping natural ground. This required special treatment from builders in strengthening the facades of buildings. Thus, the buildings appeared monolithic and reinforced as if they were a castle on top of the mountain. Most of its houses consist of one or two floors, and are deserted and partially destroyed. The adjacent between the buildings resulted in the emergence of the village in the form of an architectural fabric that expressed the local style in the planning of the heritage village. Its walls were built using Stones pinned on top of each other in an artistic way required high professional experience, and their shorts were made from the inside with a thick layer of clay and milk. It is noted that construction craftsmen have been creative in the formations of external facades and architectural openings through stone protrusions and external stone inserts, which were installed on the facades and consisted of large and solid stones. The roofs were also built using tree trunks with a layer of tree branches above it, and above it mud and milk. A number of houses found roofs based on rectangular wooden columns topped by a piece of the largest area that resembles the crown of the column and was known locally as (Al-Mazrah). Al-Mazrah is considered a distinctive architectural element of this architectural style in that area. The doors and windows of the houses were distinguished by their thickness and were made of thick wood. A wooden frame decorated around the architectural openings can be seen. A number of modern buildings overlap with the heritage village buildings and a number of them are haunted, but the old building is abandoned.
