What is a yurt?
Answered By Editor
Traditionally, a yurt has been a circular,
domed, portable tent that is typically used
by nomadic people of central Asia. It is the
traditional felt home for many nomads. The
yurt is a Turkish word for these portable
felt dwelling places.
In our modern day, the word yurt refers to
round huts made of modern materials. The
structures of modern yurts are copied or
based from the originals found in central
Asia. The modern yurts are highly engineered
and built for extreme weather conditions.
