Both the "el-Fekharin" and "Oued ez-Zitoun" areas, which occupy the entire eastern region of the Andalusian Quarter beyond the Andalusiyyin Mosque, were largely empty of major constructions prior to the 20th century, with the exception of a few religious structures and "funduq"s (merchant buildings). These districts only filled up with residential structures during the French Protectorate period in the 20th century. The "al-'Uyun" district, which covered a very large area in the southeastern region of the Qarawiyyin Quarter, was historically occupied by gardens and rich estates used by the city's wealthy and bourgeois classes. This is attested by the number of historic mansions still existing in this area such as the Dar Moqri and the Dar Glaoui. The name "al-'Uyun", "the Sources", referred to the presence of many water streams and sources which crossed the district and provided water for its gardens.
