In great crises, there are always opportunities. The pandemic COVID-19 led to many changes in buildings. In the Sultanate of Oman, users’ perceptions of their homes were affected by the lockdown.

A literature review is included to give an overview of the perception of socializing activities and privacy throughout history and during the COVID-19 lockdown in the Arab region with special emphasis on Sultanate of Oman.
