Quite unique in this part of the world, beehive houses are mere huts made with mud bricks and resemble African huts.
As is often the case, getting there was part of the fun. Getting there in time, I might add. After missing my alarm that morning, I was racing to get to Sarouj in time all day. After arrival at Hama, I was pretty unlucky at leaving the town famous for its norias, as a microbus left right when I arrived. Asking around to see if I could charter a taxi ultimately also gave me the solution to my transportation problem, as the driver of the microbus promised to take me the last stretch from Al Hamra to Sarouj, one of the villages with beehive houses.
