Al Ameen Bricks

We have been making bricks here on Althara Road for quite some time now. It is a quiet spot in Nada, mostly just the sound of the trucks and the crew moving things around the yard. Most days start early, before the sun gets too high, because handling wet clay and fire is heavy work. We are just a small group of guys who know how to stack and bake bricks. There is nothing fancy about our office; it is basically just a desk and some chairs where we talk to neighbors who need stuff for their walls or houses. Sometimes the rain slows us down, especially when the ground gets muddy near the road, but we manage. People know us because we’ve been in this part of Nada long enough that we don’t need a big sign. The dust gets on everything, but that’s just part of the job when you’re working with earth. My uncle started this, and we just kept it going because there is always someone building something nearby. We don’t have a website or anything like that. If someone wants to talk, they just come by the gate. We keep the piles organized as best as we can, though it gets messy when a big order goes out. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do every day. We just try to make sure the bricks are solid and ready when someone pulls their tractor up to the yard.
