There are two pavilions at opposite sides of the courtyard that are like a remembrance of the "Bedouins" tents. They have a square shape and are decorated with wooden domes supported on pendentives decorated with "muqarbas" . The columns, joined by pierced panels that let the light to come in, have rings on the upper part and cubic capitals with carved inscriptions. The grey lead plates work as buffers for earthquakes.
