Dar: a house with a courtyard, often with two salons (beit, pl. biyout) downstairs facing each other,
a fountain (saqaiya)
made of zellij (zellige) mosaic on one wall,
and a bartal (room without doors, open to the courtyard, for entertaining guests)
opposite the fountain, which was originally spring-fed. Sometimes there is a marble fountain (khassa), instead of a saqaiya, in the center of the courtyard.
