This study highlights a woman's impressions and experiences of the interior of the Arab Hall at Leighton House. It is a spatial reading of the Hall from within, as an Arab and a Muslim. A woman who comes from this culture and has experienced at first hand the general ethos of imaginary interior scenes with lack of a complete understanding of such cultural context. The study focuses on the identity of the Arab Hall and examines its interior from these standpoints. It explores the origin of some artifacts of the Hall and the East's impact on Lord Leighton. It investigates the authenticity of the hall and whether it is of an Islamic or Arabic interior via encountering the Hall architectural elements with some Islamic historical sites that Leighton visited. The analysis dives deep into the usage and the staging of these artifacts according to the Arabic culture. More importantly, this study states –for the first time–the mistreatment and misuse of some of the Quranic Phrases.Â
