Travertine
Travertine continues to play a significant role in today's luxury architecture and decoration. Travertine has been used as a building material in West Asia for centuries, dating back to ancient times. Travertine is renowned for its natural beauty and unique appearance. Travertine and marble are both natural stones, but they have different compositions. This is the most common and recognizable texture of travertine. Travertine has a particularly significant historical association with ancient Rome.
Natural Stones
Marble is widely used in the Middle East for its elegance and beauty. Natural stones are commonly used for flooring in both residential and commercial buildings. West Asian building stones are known for their durability, allowing them to withstand harsh weather conditions and long-term use. West Asia is home to various types of marble, each with its own unique characteristics. Travertine is formed over thousands of years as water flows through limestone and carries dissolved minerals to the surface.
Travertine trade in South Sudan
South Sudan, the world's youngest country, gained independence in 2011 and has since been working to establish its economy and trade systems. The country's financial and trading infrastructure is underdeveloped due to years of conflict, instability, and a reliance on oil as its primary economic driver. Oil accounts for nearly all of South Sudan's government revenue and export earnings, but fluctuations in oil prices and internal unrest have significantly impacted the economy. The financial sector is small, and banking services are limited, with most transactions done in cash due to a lack of proper banking infrastructure.
