Architecture (1004 words) |
 | The traditional vernacular style of architecture in Dubai is the result of a mixture of three dominant factors: the climate (hot and humid), the religion and customs of its people, and the locally available building materials. |
| The effect of religion and custom on the vernacular architecture of Dubai is another reason why the rooms of the house generally opened into the courtyard, leaving the exterior walls with very few, if any, openings, except some ventilation holes high up in the wall, as Islamic teaching promotes privacy and modesty. |
| The windtowers (barajils) were the most distinctive architectural element of the houses in the early twentieth century. |
