Traditional famous houses in desert areas of North Africa and West Asia

The tropical desert climate areas of North Africa and West Asia are controlled by subtropical high or trade winds, dominated by tropical continental air masses, with annual rainfall less than 1.25mm, strong sunshine and extremely high temperature. The northern coastal area belongs to the transitional zone between tropical desert and Mediterranean climate. Earthwork is widely used in residential buildings. The top of the building is flat and surrounded by walls. This kind of building structure is convenient for heat dissipation, water pumping and water storage, which can make maximum use of limited precipitation and reduce the indoor temperature.
