Harrat al Sham
In the extreme north of Saudi Arabia, near the Jordanian border, the desert kites are polygonal or have tips that give them a slightly star-shaped appearance. Their diameter is usually between 100 and 200 meters. The same patterns continue further north through Jordan to Syria. From this it can be concluded that at the time of the kite builders this region was a contiguous area in which people of the same culture lived.
