Those are Mundul (Settled huts for farmers) they’re larger and better equipped than Aqals (Nomadic Tents similar to Mongol Yurts or Native American Tipis). The Aqal Is basic because it’s suppose to be is to build and then dismantle and placed on the back of a camel as the Nomads move

Sad and shameful that our nomads now resort to using plastic bags and all types of rubbish to make them
