As Arab sheikh wooden house built in the desert

Good day, dear subscribers!
Today I want to share with you one interesting story that I told the fellow who has worked 10 years in the Saudi Aramco oil company.

ANDistory of this, as a member of the Saudi royal family, after his visit to the Russian hinterland so inspired by the Russian wooden architecture, he decided to build a wooden house at itself in the sands of the Arabian Peninsula (And if I remember correctly, he traveled to a village in the Nizhny Novgorod region).

At first, I also did not take the story seriously, but then found the internet a dozen confirmations of the story.

ANDso, once the Arab sheikh came to the city of Semenov (capital Khokhloma) and with an interpreter, I visited one of the Russian rustic log cabins, houses: the street was the heat, and in the house was saving cool and smelled of fresh resinous tree. Sheikh was shocked.

PAfter leaving the house, Sheikh stunned guide question: how to buy a house and take him to the Arabian Peninsula?

DId proved helpful, and within a week (Probably for a solid reward) Arranged everything: bought from local craftsmen ready dried frame and arranged with the logisticians of the carriage house on The Arabian Peninsula and then to workers seconded - the Arabs have no idea how to build a log cabin for its hands.

Estestvenno Sheikh generously repaid guide and builders, and today in one of the suburbs of Riyadh can see this Russian hut, equipped, however, with air conditioning.

ABOUTtzyvy our travelers on the Internet who saw the log cabin in the sands of Saud, and convinced me that the story of my friend - true.

Here are our traditions of wooden architecture!
Personally, I pride takes, and you?
