‘Amar Family

Description (The direction towards Mecca (Qibla) is described as eastern and other directions are named accordingly)

An extremely simple small single-story building measuring ca. 4.5 x 9.5 m. Free-standing, i.e. not within a defined enclosure, but abutting to the north and west on neighbouring structures. Built of rough stone and plastered, with the undecorated entrance door built of ashlar stone and covered with a semi-circular arch in the southern façade. There is an undecorated rectangular window with a simple iron grille to the left of the entrance door. Over the window (partially blocking it) is a huge wooden panel with elaborate calligraphic inscription. The inscription praises the Shaykh Yunis al-Buhi in poetic verse. There was an overhanging wooden eave shading the southern wall, of which only remnants of wooden brackets remain. Instead, a very simple wooden pergola for grapevine has been crudely constructed. The building contains two rooms.
The western one has an octagonal ceiling lantern covered with a small dome of lath-and-plaster construction. The eastern room, apparently a vestibule, has a small simple window in the undecorated eastern façade. A secondary entrance to it was pierced in the southern wall, then crudely blocked. The interior was inaccessible at the time of recording.
