The problems of the researches is that change leading to loosen the distinct identity, soiling the general view and the appearance of conflict and opposition. This change can be contributed to several factors relating to the conditions of the urban development which are so speedy and are not under the prior planning. Results of this research indicated that the rural house natural environmental which consists with the hard, hot, daily deviation of temperature, hot wind and dust factors, and at the same time, cold winter , high rains and high level of humidity . In the other hand, the rural house is consistent with the social environment by depending on common practices and traditions and attitudes. The research is aimed to return to the past, taking thoughts from it, manipulate these to use in solving the problems of our rural society. The recommendations are not a call to return back to the tradition from work of pure past and go away from modernity, and at the same time it is not a call to separate from all the tradition practices, and accepting all the modern and new practices, it is a call to matching the originality and modernity to support our district identity.
