Rijal Amam on Behance
Rijal Almaa is a traditional, centuries old village of multistorey, stone fortress houses. One of the houses has been beautifully restored and converted in the Almaa Museum. The five-storey façade spread across five conjoined buildings is extraordinary with its austere stone and clay offset by white-washed window frames. The interior's 19 rooms are crowded with almost 2000 exhibits, including household items, costumes, weaponry, jewellery and sacred texts, all from the local area.
Rijal Alma village. The whole village has been turned into a tourist attraction. Most of the people have left the old houses, mud or stones ones, mainly because they had an easier access to water in this area. The village of Rijal Almaa is located in the Tihama part of the Aseer (or Asir) Province. It is 45km west of the tourist city of Abha. The village is only 500 m from the main road that connects the city of Mahayel Aseer and Darb Bani Shubah. It is located near other tourist sights in Abha. It was the capital of the principality of Hala during the reign of Mossa al Kenani in 732 H. 50,000 tourists a year visit this locality. The village is famous for the Assouda Tourist Cable Car that descends from the heights of Assouda Mountains to an area near the village. High stone buildings that often reach 7 storeys characterize the architectural legacy of the area. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com
