Traditional Asir door

There were tables and chairs right in front of both sets of doors and we didn't feel like trying to move them (and creating a commotion), so I just shot part of them. Although many traditional Saudi doors are brightly painted, Asir Province is said to be "Living in Colors," and this is a good example of it.

I have decided to make a small sub-gallery for this village because we actually got to spend a bit of time here and I have more than a few pictures of it.

It is very pretty and colorful. I'm also interested in the stone work and how tightly it is fitted together. V

Colorful indeed, and the stone frame is not very different from what was used here a century ago. V
