Abstract

TRIBE, HOUSE STYLE AND THE TOWN LAYOUT OF JAZIRAT AL-HAMRA, RAS AL-KHAIMAH (UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)

In cooperation with the National Museum of Ras al-Khaimah, Zayed University has been documenting houses in Jazirat al-Hamra, sometimes known as Jazira az Zaab. The town was identified by J. G. Lorimer as the headquarters of the Zaab tribe. The Al Zaab dominated southern Ras al-Khaimah and according to oral history, originated on the Batinah Coast in Oman. They occupied a string of villages between Shinas and Ras al-Khaimah, including Khor Fakkan, and bought a substantial proportion of the date gardens in 'Ain al-Khatt. Because of longstanding conflict with the ruling Al Qassimi family, the Al Zaab relocated to Abu Dhabi shortly after the United Arab Emirates' confederation in 1971. They have subsequently refused to allow the demolition of the houses, thus leaving us with an opportunity to document a pearling port left essentially intact from the early twentieth century. Combining material drawn from our survey and from ethnographic interviews conducted by our students, I identify a series of house types dating to the century and relate them to what we know of the tribal make-up of the community. This defines stylistic variation in historic architecture on the Trucial Coast and locates this variation within its contemporary socio-economic context.
