Its decorated hallways had ornaments of fertility and pictures depicting an array of sexual positions. The largest room in the Harem Wing was the Day Room, the place where the Harem Girls spent most of their time. It was also the place they went to entertain guests.<br/><br/>Mosaics on the floor, with a long Pool dominating the center of the room. Around the pool were an assortment of loungers, all big enough for at least two people to fit onto. Deep Alcoves, complete with padded cushions (see picture) provided comfortable places to set and semi-private areas for the couplings that went on.<br/><br/>A doorway on the East Side leads out into a small courtyard with another pool, with doorways surrounding it. These are the private rooms of the Harem girls.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>An Enuch had been sent to assemble all the Harem Girls along the edge of the pool in their day room. He had explicit instructions for them as well: all the girls, and the Harem Queen, were to line up and be naked, and await the arrival of the Sultan and his special guest.
