About Us

Al-Liwan is a word used since ancient times into the present to refer to a long narrow-fronted hall
or vaulted portal found in Levantine homes that is often open to the outside.

In its simplest form, the history of the liwan dates back more than 2,000 years, when the liwan house was essentially a covered terrace, supported by retaining walls, with a courtyard in front.
Mats and carpets are typically spread along the length of the floor of the liwan, and the mattresses and cushions along the length of the walls make up the diwan or divan seating area.

 It is where the family got together to what we might call today “chit chat”, hence Al-liwan blog…All the chit chat that needs to be known…
