Jiwai Stone Building

BalochistanBuildingProtected
It is located inside Jiani on the dunes overlooking the beach. Remains of a construction (length 7 m; width 6.5 m), partly choked with sand, and built with huge cut-stone blocks. In spite of the very eroded condition of the cut-stone surface, the construction features of this building are very similar to those of the Koh Batil dam, in Gwadar.
