Hi, Dear steemit friends. Many friends here admire my recent posts and ask me to show them more about beautiful places in Algeria. so I really want to show this amazing Palace which made of Clay and stones. this palace was built before 1000 years and still strong and looks great.

its located in such a beautiful city called Ghardaia in the south of Algeria. because of the hot weather most of the year in the desert( Saharah ), the favorite materials to build any building in hot places are clay and stones . Clay resists under high temperature which makes building always cool in summer and warm during the winter .

the Palace tonight:
