yurts (gers)

Yurts, also called gers, are portable, round tents traditionally used by nomadic cultures in Central Asia. Constructed with a collapsible wooden framework covered by layers of fabric and felt, they are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, making them ideal for a mobile lifestyle. Yurts offer stable, energy-efficient shelter, with a central support ring and a spacious interior that can be customized for living, cooking, or sleeping. Their durable design provides insulation against harsh climates, and their aesthetic and functional qualities have gained popularity worldwide for eco-friendly, versatile housing.
