Traditional houses - Sheikh Isa’s house
The most famous feature of Sheikh Isa’s house is its early version of air-conditioning in the form of a wind tower which funnels cool breezes into the rooms below and allows hot air to escape from above.
Great grandfather to the current Emir, Sheikh Isa ruled from 1869 until 1932 and his house is typical of upper class homes of the period. Beit Sheikh Isa, Muharraq.
