Summary

[edit]
Description
العربية: البلدة القديمة لغدامس من الأعلى، وهي إحدى مواقع التراث العالمي لليونسكو في ليبيا. تتكون هذه المنازل من الطين وخشب النخيل، وتترابط بشكل وثيق، بحيث تشبه خلايا النحل. وتتميز بطراز معماري فريد مستوحى من تصاميم القصور الأمازيغية القديمة، حيث تُشيَّد بشكل عمودي. يُستخدم الطابق الأرضي لتخزين المستلزمات الأساسية، بينما يُخصَّص الطابق الأول للمعيشة العائلية، وتُستخدم الأسطح المفتوحة للنساء.
English: Old town of Ghadames from above. One of UNESCO World Heritage Site in Libya
These houses, crafted from mud and palm wood, are tightly interconnected, resembling beehives. They feature a distinctive architectural style inspired by ancient Amazigh palace designs, constructed vertically. The ground floor is reserved for storing essential supplies, the first floor serves as the family’s living space, and the open rooftop is designated for women. Elevated passageways link the rooftops, allowing women to move freely while remaining out of sight from men.
