Yes. The housetops were flat, and people often used them for bathing, gardening, etc. Of course, the most famous "rroftop bather" was Bathsheba, whom David saw, lusted after, thus sinning against God.

Yes, bathing on house roofs was a common practice in biblical times, particularly in warm climates like the Middle East. It provided privacy and a cool escape from the heat. However, this practice was more common among the wealthier class who could afford such luxuries.
