The village of Al-Laghamis is located in Wadi Bathan Baida, south of Al-Aqraba, about 7 kilometers away, and its inhabitants belong to the Bani Bashir tribe. The village consists of a number of heritage residential buildings, most of which are adjacent to each other and were built on the natural sloping ground, which required the builders to take special care in reinforcing the facades of the buildings. As a result, the buildings appeared monolithic. The juxtaposition of the buildings resulted in the appearance of the village in the form of an architectural fabric expressive of the local pattern in the layout of the heritage village. Most of the houses are one- or two-story, with a number of three-story houses that are abandoned and partially dilapidated. Their walls were built using stacked stones in an artisanal manner that required a high level of craftsmanship, and were sealed on the inside with a thick layer of mud and clay. The masonry craftsmen were creative in shaping the external facades and architectural openings through stone protrusions. The walls of the houses were built using stones stacked on top of each other in an artistic way that required professional expertise, and were shortened on the inside with a thick layer of mud and mud. The roofs were also built using tree trunks and a layer of tree branches, topped with mud and clay, and in a number of houses there were roofs resting on rectangular wooden poles topped with a larger piece that resembled the crown of the pillar, known locally as the mizrahi. The mizrahi is a distinctive architectural element of this architectural style in this region. The supporting center column (mizrahi) was made from a tree trunk in its natural form, and the doors and windows of the houses were made of thick logs and were characterized by their thickness. A decorative wooden frame can be seen around a number of architectural openings
