Dead Cities - Jerada (جاراده)

The stones used for Jerada have a darker colour than the stones used in the other dead cities I visited. This gives the place a little sombre atmosphere, especially under cloudy and rainy conditions. The architectural design of some of the buildings is interesting. Although some restauration work is taking place here, I'm affraid it'll not be enough to prevent the collapse of some interesting buildings.
