South of Tabuk, in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, you can see simple, V-shaped kites, usually with just one pit at the end. This shape is common across the Sinai, across Libya, and further into the Western Sahara. It is interesting to note that here, at the end of the barriers, there is usually a natural rock cliff over which the animals fall into an abyss.

In the very south of Tabuk province, the funnel-shaped kites are replaced by round, bell-shaped structures, which can only be found in a similar form over a thousand kilometres away, in the north of Syria.
