The palace was greatly crowded with people coming to see all the chambers of the king's harem and his relatives. I entered it several times and found it to be among the delightful things that should be admired. It contains many images that are only distinguished from people by their lack of speech. It also has portraits of many kings of France and others, all the relatives of the Sultanate, and all Western things. Most of the items found in the Sultan's harem are commendable for the quality of their craftsmanship, not to be compared with, for example, the rest of the furnishings like chairs and beds. Even the royal chairs are elaborately decorated with fine reeds and gilded, although they do not contain many precious stones like those found in our country, in the homes of the great princes. The French, in all their affairs, focus on adornment, not on decoration, display, and boasting. Then, all the wealthy people in Paris live in the suburbs within the city itself. We have already mentioned in the description of the outskirts of the Paris region that every house has chimneys where currents are created in the lower parts and rooms. For those who are well-off, they live in the palaces in the countryside, which has fresher air than inside the city. Some people travel to certain countries in France or its neighboring regions to experience the scent of Western countries and to observe the land and learn about the customs of its people, especially during a period of the year called the "holiday" or "leisure" period, meaning idleness for women. They travel alone or with a man they agree to travel with and trust for the duration of their journey. It is not that women also have the responsibility to acquire knowledge and understand the secrets of beings and research them. It is possible that some of them come from Frankish lands to Egypt to see its wonders, such as the pyramids and the pyramids, and others. They are like men in all matters. Then, some wealthy women may be found whose circumstances are hidden, who can present themselves to foreigners, and they are unmarried.
