Culture

Daraa, ST- People of Bosra Al-Sham in Daraa countryside have turned some of the old houses which still preserve their  traditional architectural style,  into museums and galleries of folklore, highlighting the traditional textiles and cuisine that Horan region is famous for.

Director of Tourism, Yasser Al-Saadi remarked with a statement to the SANA that the ancient houses of Bosra are distinguished by their cultural richness and still preserve the old architectural style made of basalt stone, arches and stone roof.

He added that these houses were chosen, due to their distinguished architectural style, to display the products of traditional industries including rugs, mattresses, and some traditional agricultural tools. Also, they were decorated with old musical instruments.

Al-Saadi indicated that the directorate is seeking to turn about 25 old houses into popular hostels that contribute in revitalizing cultural heritage tourism and activating the traditional professions market.

He also stressed that the directorate has been offering these homes since many years ago for investment, as a suitable place to receive tourists and provide the appropriate environment that suits all seasons of the year.

The director of tourism said: “People in Bosra welcomed the idea of reinvesting their houses, and they all hope that tourism will return to its previous era. This will, of course, contribute in improving their living conditions”.
