Durrat Al Aroos

This is a section of the Durrat Al Aroos Resort Village, north of Jeddah.  With its own harbor, this area offers many options for a nice weekend get away. The elaborate wooden window coverings are fashioned after the distinctive roshan of Old Jeddah.

The color seems to go from a lemon yellow on the right to an almost ochre on the left. Is that real or an artifact of the lighting?

I like the soft yellow on these first homes.

Hi Jerry - They might actually belong to different owners, so they may have been painted two different shades of yellow. Also the sun bleaches paint after a while here and the paint can appear almost tye dyed. It also could be the natural lighting and time of day playing with our minds too!

Me too, William.
