Houses in the middle-east tend to be byzantine influenced and are flat roofed, and square in shape. They hardly ever have triangle shaped roof’s due to the rarity of rain, thus if it were to rain it would evaporate quickly in a few days and of course it never snows in the middle-east at leadt not in the gulf council countries.
