Abbasid harem

Abbasid haram is a term used to describe the large number of wives and concubines kept by the kings in the Abbasid dynasty. The kings of the Abbasid dynasty had a lot of money so they could afford to have many wives and concubines who lived in a special place called a harem. The harem was a private place for the wives and concubines where the king could visit and spend time with them away from the eyes of the public. Over time, the harem became quite a luxurious place for the women and contained lots of furniture and decorations. The women even had their own special staff to tend to their needs. Although the Abbasid harems weren't allowed to be seen by outsiders, many people in the royal family and court would gossip about the women and the luxurious lifestyle they lived.
