A riwaq (or rivaq, Arabic: رواق riwāq or ruwāq[1]) is an arcade or portico (if in front of entrances) open on at least one side.[2] It is an architectural design element in Islamic architecture and Islamic garden design.[3]
A riwaq often serves as the transition space between interior and outdoor spaces. As portico or arcade structure, it provides shade and adjustment to sunlight in hot climates, and cover from rain in any locale.
