Havara Explained

Havara is a type of chalky, powdery mixture of silt and limestone that is predominantly calcium carbonate in composition.[1] It tends to form a surface coating of "limestone-marl areas".[1] It is common in Cyprus, where it is used as gravel for roads.[1] Soft and easily carved, it is widely used in construction throughout the Middle East.[2] For example, it was used for the interior of the Gaziantep railway station.[2] Havara is vulnerable to weathering.[3]
