The term Mashrabiya means

mashrabiya (Arabicمشربية‎), also either shanshūl (شنشول) or rūshān (روشان), is an architectural element which is characteristic of Arabic residences.

It is a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with carved wood latticework located on the second story of a building or higher, often lined with stained glass.

The mashrabiya is an element of traditional Arabic architecture used since the Middle Ages up to the mid-20th century.

It is most commonly used on the street side of the building; however, it may also be used internally on the sahn (courtyard) side.

The style may be informally known as a “harem window” in English.
