Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Arabic majlis?
▾
A majlis (مجلس) is a traditional reception room in Arabic homes — a dedicated space for receiving guests.

It typically features low seating arranged along the walls, a central space for gatherings, and rich decorative finishes.
Can you design a contemporary Arabic majlis?
