What shape are the Egyptian houses?

The ancient Egyptians built their houses using sun-dried mud bricks, which were easy to make and could be shaped into various forms. The most common shape for an Egyptian house was rectangular, with flat roofs and walls made of mud bricks or stone. The roofs were often made of palm fronds or reeds, which were lightweight and provided insulation from the sun. Some houses had a central courtyard, which provided a space for cooking, eating and socializing. The windows were small and often covered with wooden shutters to keep out the sun and dust. The doors were usually made of wood and were often decorated with carvings or paintings.
