في هذه المرة قامت أمي ولبست ثيابها، وقبل أن تجلس قريبًا من القبة ومعها صرة ملابسها كان أبي وخالي قد اتفقا على حل: This time, my mother got up and wore her clothes, and before she sits near the dome with her clothes bundle, my father and uncle had agreed on a solution. هذا الرجل يجلس عند عتبة دارنا: This man is sitting on our doorstep. Marco: the second sentence says it's a house for sure and not a tent. Take a look at how the old houses were built from the mud with domes: https://goo.gl/b64w9N

Yeah, it means cupola or dome. And also means : The small tent with curved top "ceiling".

Excuse me , Marco Is this woman in the story live in the house or in a tent ? Because the woman if she lived in a tent,, be here meaning dome tent also said Ahmad But if she lived in the house be dome is the Dome of the House and this was a system in ancient peasant houses in the past I agree with the opinion of Ahmed because it appropriately in the context of the sentence I hope to be useful Thank you
