Mudhif
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mudhif is a traditional reed house made by the Madan people (also known as Marsh Arabs) in the swamps of southern Iraq. In the traditional Madan way of living, houses are constructed from reeds harvested from the marshes where they live. A mudhif is a large communal house, paid for and maintained by a local shiek, for use by guests or as a gathering place for weddings, funerals, etc.
