Harah shows Paul Atreides his Yali in Sietch Tabr - Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 2: Muad’Dib artwork by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín
Yali was a Fremen term that referred to someone's personal quarters within a sietch.[1] When someone died in the Tahaddi Challenge, the victor claimed the dead man's yali, his possessions (excluding those given away in the Fremen Funeral Rite), his coffee service, his wife and his children.[2]
Jamis' Yali, later Paul-Muad'Dib's, had a stout entrance which opened to a larger room. It was about six meters wide with thick blue carpets on the floor, blue and green fabrics hiding the rock walls and draped yellow ceiling fabrics.[3]

He lifted the hangings across from her, feeling metal fibers in the fabric, followed her into a short entrance way and then into a larger room, square, about six meters to a side--thick blue carpets on the floor, blue and green fabrics hiding the rock walls, glowglobes tuned to yellow overhead bobbing against draped yellow ceiling fabrics.
