An old architectural detail of buildings in Jeddah are the distinctive wooden window coverings, called Roshan (singular) or Rawasheen (plural). They provide privacy but are also functional as they are vented to allow for air flow. Many newer buildings in Jeddah feature the Roshan as a purely decorative feature.
It is a neat concept!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see Saudi decoration that is truly Arab and not bad European.
