Berber Houses

Berber Houses
Berbers are aboriginal peoples who form a large part of the population of North Africa. They have been living in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco for thousands of years in houses made of mud bricks, wood, or stone. Berber houses usually have one large room that serves as eating, living, and sleeping quarters.
