The envelope is made entirely of reinforced concrete veils to which the marble and marble stone coverings have been fixed by means of stainless steel fasteners and staples. The beige-coloured marble stone, the kedhel quarried in the southern suburbs of Tunis , was used for covering and decoration in particular the keystones of the arches, cornices, domes and floors and the chemtou in yellow and red tones for the midha (place of ablutions). The spaces are air-conditioned: the air is blown through the wooden moucharabiehs of the doors and through the stucco patterns
