Majlis



A majlis is a sitting room. It can be found inside the house or in a khaimah built outside of the house. Generally, it is understood to be the room in which the visitors are entertained by the host/hostess. Usually, tea or coffee are being served to the visitors along with date fruits.

Photos shown above were taken at Al Ain Palace Museum sometime in July 2010. 
Word of the day: khaimah is the Arabic word for tent. Salaam!
