The upper floor is divided into different rooms, such as the Sala El Zoco (the Souk), Sala Romántica, Sala del Inmigrante Árabe (Room of the Arab immigrant), Sala de Oraciones (Prayer Room), Sala de las Civilizaciones Pre Islámicas (Room of the Pre-Islamic Civilizations).

In the Sala El Zoco, an Arab market (rather a Marrakech market) is simulated with carpets, fabrics, rugs, cloths, hanging from the walls and the ceiling, and some coffee sets etc. The souk means marketplace in the North Africa or the Middle East. A stall in such a marketplace is also called as souk.

In the Sala Romántica, some objects that belonged to Cuban personalities, are exhibited. They obtained these objects with romantic spirit in their trips to Middle East, North Africa, Asia and southern Spain. The costumes and the accessories, as well as the paintings that belonged to Dulce Maria Loynaz del Castillo and her family are outstanding. These objects were brought from Egypt, Palestine and Turkey.

The Sala del Inmigrante Árabe contains documents, photos and personal objects of some people born as the descendants of the Arabic immigrants, the so called “Moors”. Felipe Elías Tumas, the Lebanese commander of the Independence War, Said Selman Hussein or Eugenio Selman-Hussein, private doctor of Fidel Castro and the inventor of guayabera (a men’s summer shirt, worn outside the trousers, distinguished by two vertical rows of closely sewn pleats, running the length of the front and back of the shirt) are among the popular Moors that contributed to the Cuban nation a lot. Meanwhile, the renowned pianist Nola Sahig and the doctors and researchers Juan B. and Pedro Kourí Esmeja brothers had Lebanese parents. Alfredo Yabur Maluf, the Minister of Justice (1959-1973), was originally an Arab.

In the Sala de Oraciones, there is the mihrab and the minbar. The mihrab is the niche in front of which the imam and the faithful perform their ritual prayer. The mihrab indicates the kiblah, the direction of the Kaaba shrine in Mecca toward which all Muslims turn in ritual prayer. The minbar is the high pulpit just at the right side of the mihrab, accessed by the stairs, where the imam makes his speech, the khutbah, about any religious or social topic. The ground where the Muslims perform their prayer, is covered by the carpets. The visitor should not forget to look at the collection of Koran in the library Ibn Jaldun (Ibn Khaldun), where many texts on Islam or Arab culture and some historical chronicles of the Arab world from the 19th can be found. Ibn Khaldun is a 14th century Arab historian and one of the greatest philosophers of the Middle Ages, known best by his book Mukaddime (Introduction) that influenced many Ottoman historians, like Kâtip Çelebi, in the 17th century.

In the Sala de las Civilizaciones Pre Islámicas some objects that belonged to the cultures before Islam, such as the tapestries, the sculptures and the collection of papyri and hieroglyphics. Papyrus is a thick paper, made from the pith of the papyrus plant, a wetland sedge. It was used as writing surface in ancient times. Hieroglyphics is a pictorial script, particularly that of the ancient Egyptians, in which many symbols are used.

Within its cultural and educational program, the Casa de los Árabes is a place for exhibitions, concerts, lectures, dance performances, poetic encounters, book presentations, traditional costume exhibitions, tasting of typical dishes and post-graduate courses.
