Although its buildings are constructed of the common [[umberstone]] native to the region, they are given a unique flair by the use of decorative patterns laid in the stonework, often creating stripes or zigzags on the structures' facades. These patterns are then in turn brightly limewashed, along with the trim around doorways, windows, and eaves. This love of striking patterns is mirrored in the turbans and headcloths favored by al-Sakhnans, which almost always feature colorful stripes or chevrons against a contrasting white background.

	The town of '''al-Sakhna''' lies just to the east of [[Omrazir]] along the northern coast of the [[Sirdabi Caliphate\|Sirdabi]] province of [[Raziya]]. It is built on the shores of a deep but sheltered lagoon that forms an excellent natural harbor, and its inhabitants have fished and dived for pearls in the [[Strait of Sorrows]] for countless generations. Though the town predates nearby Omrazir and has a historic rivalry with it, al-Sakhna is now often considered an extension of the larger city and serves as its primary port.
