UAE Culture: Sitting rooms in old houses, a living heritage of rural culture

In the villages of the past, sitting rooms in houses made of mud were a common practice where human values ​​and relationships flourished and acquaintances and identities were established. The indelible memories of the walls of these mud houses are engraved in the minds of the residents. Several historical villages in the northern borders of the country, including Lina, Waluqa, Walduwaid and Umm Razmah, still remain a beating heart for the people of the area. Those simple houses made of mud are still important places for the people of the area, where the sitting rooms are filled with the presence of guests and the stories of their ancestors. The simple and narrow houses prove to be spacious for everyone despite limited resources. Everyone fits in them well as if they were built for them all. The walls made of raw mud of these houses, on which the cracks of time are visible, are living symbols of the past months and years, which are the guardians of the events that have passed here. These houses are devoid of prevailing standards and luxurious equipment and are a symbol of simplicity, the construction materials found in the area were used in their construction. The element of simplicity and modesty is prominent in it, which is a true mirror of social truth and authentic values ​​and solidarity.
