Al Arish - a summer house with a wind tower (windcatcher) made of burlap pieces placed on top.
This wind tower is an effective means to get in breezes of air blowing in whatever directions.
Windcatchers remain present in many countries and can be found in traditional Persian-influenced architecture throughout the Middle East, including in the small Arab states of the Persian Gulf (mostly Bahrain and Dubai, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Very interesting piece of architecture -- the same lines but totally different building materials from what I've seen there. V.
