Ablaq

Ablaq is when people use different colors of stones to create patterns on buildings or walls. It's like playing with Legos, but instead of all one color, you use different colors to make it look cool. People have been doing this for a long time, especially in places like the Middle East and parts of Spain. It's a way to make buildings look fancy and special. Imagine building a house out of blocks and using red and blue blocks to make stripes or squares. That's what ablaq is, but with real stones instead of blocks.
