zellij - or patterned tiling - is traditionally used in moroccan homes, particularly in reception rooms in which guests and visitors would be entertained.

A colourful mixture of tiling with stucco and paintwork designs on all areas are used in opulent combination in these remaining rooms in which were the reception and harem rooms in the palace.
