EGYPT VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE:
Nubian architecture:
The earliest Nubian architecture used perishable materials, wattle and daub, mudbrick, animal hide and other light and supple materials. 
As a response to the harsh conditions of the Arid desert environment, dwellings are generally characterised by being compact in shape for minimizing the amount of building surface exposed to the direct radiation of the sun and the alleys in between are narrow and often covered and shaded streets to avoid the heat of the sun and extreme brightness and provide ventilation shaft.
