dhee ayn and the farm

The village can be accessed through the nearby plantations and wilderness. A nearby stream of crystal waters keep this area green.

Apparently, no mortar were found used to set the flakes of rocks in construction. Stone lintels are used for doors and windows. Roofs, again, are of stones with support of timber.

Visitors to Dhee Ayn should take extra care in entering the rooms as some parts of the walls are sensitively damaged.
