Now you see me; now you don't...

Can you see the houses? Can you? Bet you can't.

But they are out there... decorated with traditional good luck symbols

Invisible from the surface until you are virtually on top of them...

Cool inside... carved out of the rok


Cosy :-)

Matmata - the area of Tunisia known for its troglodyte houses...

redro I wonder if they have street names and house numbers to get the mail at the correct address ;) , and ...how often they fall in each other's yard by mistake especially at night... :(
If that flowery bush is not a plastic ornament for tourists, it's an amazing proof of survival in harsh environment .
It's impossible to imagine how people manage to do the same.

Widcat That is absolutely facinating and it makes sense to live that way in that climate.
