The Red Sea coastal strip of Yemen is an extension of the Great Rift Valley system. This coastal strip is called Tihama Al yemen. Tihama the word appears in Sabaean writings, and it means “low and flat territory below the escarpment”. The Red Sea coastal strip of Yemen flora and fauna show many similarities and connections with those of Africa. But it is not only nature which reflects an African influence.    It seems that these Tihama reed huts holds big similarity to the reed huts of the land of Punt depiction at Deir Al Bahri in Luxor temple. These huts and the huts found in Saudi Arabia are yet another evidence of the possibility of Punt land being in the Arabian Peninsula as many scholars now started to suggest, such as Dr Said Al Qumny of Egypt. I think that the reed huts need careful attention and study along with this Arabian-African vibrant culture.   Tihama huts floors and walls are completely surfaced with mud all the way up to the domed ceiling. The walls are often painted with bright colors and lively motifs. The paintings represent the panoply of creation: animals, people, Islamic inscriptions and everyday objects, including cars, rockets and airplanes.
