What is a "qa'a"?

A qa'a is a type of reception or sitting area commonly found in traditional Middle Eastern and North African homes, particularly in Islamic architecture. It serves as a social space where family and guests can gather to relax, converse, and enjoy hospitality. Typically, a qa'a features comfortable seating, often with cushions or low sofas, and is designed with decorative elements such as intricate tilework, carved wood, and colorful textiles. This area may be open to the outdoors, allowing natural light and air to flow through, and is an important aspect of the home’s design, reflecting the cultural emphasis on community and social interaction.
