Khayamiya Khayamiya (Arabic خيّامية Khayyāmiyah) is a type of decorative appliqué textile historically used to decorate tents across the Arab world. They are now primarily made in Cairo, Egypt, along a covered market known as the Street of the Tentmakers (Sharia al Khayamiya, or Souq Al-Khaymiya). This street is located immediately south of Bab Zuweila, and has been in continuous use since the Mamluk era. ==Description== Khayamiya are elaborately patterned and colourful appliques applied to the interior of tents, serving a dual function of shelter and ornament. They resemble quilts, and possess the three layers typical of quilts - a heavy 'back', a background 'top', and elaborate applique over the 'top'. Functionally, they can be compared to curtains, though their recent roles have diversified to cater for touristic purposes. These now include cushion covers, fashion, bags, bedspreads, and other applications.
