Climate adaptability plays a significant role in formulating any architecture in terms of the buildings’ heights, shapes, materials and so on. The traditional architecture in the Hejaz region, which is considered as one of the Islamic architecture types, is an interesting example to show how the inhabitants have adapted with climate, a sustainable architecture the still intact until the present day. This paper presents the traditional Hejazi architectural techniques in dealing with climate adaptability by describing the various architectural principles, materials and components such as the rawashan and the courtyard. Traditional methods and techniques will be explored through illustrating different architectural features. Finally, the discussion will outline the basic principles that should be implemented in the design of buildings in order to promote environmental-friendly and sustainable architecture.
