These look good. They are not really Arabic Tiles though, or at least not only. This type of roof tile is seen all over Mediterranian countries; Spain to Italy, Greece, Lebanon, N.Africa, etc... They are very useful.

You are right, you can find them all around the Mediterranean. They are also called "ROMAN TILES".
Thanks for your post.

Never knew about MacOne before today. The roofing tile will be very useful but some of the other items in their catalog will be worth checking out.

Tile roofing of this style is even popular -and fairly common- in Germany as well, with local variations. A really useful product and the fact that they offer individual tiles is great for dios depicting damaged roofs.
