Not too long ago before the UAE's oil wealth was discovered, the country's homes here in Fujairah were built from indigenous materials and simpler construction techniques. The photos show a house built of local rock and a mud like stucco, which has plenty of shells in it, common in the dirt here. Palm frawns were used in the roofing. With the new wealth these homes were abandoned for newer, larger and more modernized homes.
