The Architecture of Oman varies and depends on the location. The most important building materials used in Oman consist of stones, baked bricks, mud bricks, palm trees, mangrove poles and lime which is mainly used for plaster and mortar. Traditional housing in Al-Bāṭinah often consists of palm-frond huts, in contrast to the mud-brick structures of the interior. More recently, however, such homes have largely been replaced by more modern dwellings of concrete, though elements of traditional regional architecture have been retained. |
