History

Traditional yurts consist of an expanding wooden circular frame carrying a felt cover.

A yurt is designed to be dismantled and the parts carried compactly on camels or yaks to be rebuilt on another site. Complete construction takes around 2 hours.

Yurts have been in Central Asia for at least three thousand years.

the 'father of history', who lived in Greece between 484 and 424 BC described yurt-like tents as the dwelling place of the scythians
