The further one goes to the south of Saudi Arabia, the more rudimentary and fragmentary the remains of kites that are still visible there become. The classic desert kite with the large collection enclosure is completely missing here. One only sees open trap systems (open kites) in which two relatively short guide walls lead directly to mostly several pitfalls. It is striking that the vast majority of these kites are located close to gullies that may have been watercourses in the past. Were here animals whose habitat rivers and lakes are the target of the hunt? The remains of the kites south of Medina remind me visually very much of the finds in the Central Sahara.
