Wadi Do'an palais Buqshan Khaila Hadhramaut is a historical region of the south Arabian Peninsula along the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea, extending eastwards from Yemen to the borders of the Dhofar region of Oman. The name of the region is currently retained in the smaller Hadhramaut Governorate of the Republic of Yemen. The people of Hadhramaut are called Hadhramis. Narrowly, Hadhramaut refers to the historical Qu'aiti and Kathiri sultanates, which were in the Aden Protectorate overseen by the British Resident at Aden until their abolition upon the independence of South Yemen in 1967. The current governorate of Hadhramaut roughly incorporates the former territory of the two sultanates. It consists of a narrow, arid coastal plain bounded by the steep escarpment of a broad plateau, with a very sparse network of deeply sunk wadis (seasonal watercourses). The undefined northern edge of Hadhramaut slopes down to the desert Empty Quarter. In a wider sense, Hadhramaut includes the territory of Mahra to the east all the way to the contemporary border with Oman. This encompasses the current governorates of Hadramaut and Mahra in their entirety as well as parts of the Shabwah Governorate. The Hadhramis live in densely built towns centered on traditional watering stations along the wadis. Hadhramis harvest crops of wheat and millet, tend date palm and coconut groves, and grow some coffee. On the plateau, Bedouins tend sheep and goats. Society is still highly tribal, with the old Seyyid aristocracy, descended from Prophet Muhammad, traditionally educated and strict in their Islamic observance and highly respected in religious and secular affairs. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com

A l'intérieur de l'église du couvent d'Alcobaça au Portugal, les murs sont couverts des célèbres azulejos, des carreaux de faience finement décorés. Le terme d'azulejos (de l'arabe "al zulaycha", pierre polie, et non de l'espagnol "azul", bleu, étymologie qui semble évidente puisque la couleur bleue est la plus fréquemment utilisée) désigne un ensemble de carreaux de faïence (un azulejo) assemblés en fresque murale. Ces carreaux ou ces fresques peuvent utiliser des motifs géométriques ou des représentations figuratives. On les trouve de longue date dans les intérieurs de bâtiments mais aussi en revêtement extérieur de façade. Cet art qui s'est développé dans toute la péninsule Ibérique a été importé par les Maures lors de leur occupation. D'abord non figuratives (interdiction de la figuration dans les précepts de l'Islam), les décorations deviennent figuratives avec l'essor de la faïence dans toute l'Europe et notamment dans les Flandres (voir le musée de l'Hospice Comtesse à Lille).
