El aljibe es una cisterna árabe para almacenar agua, por lo general potable.
El modelo tradicional árabe es un recipiente total o parcialmente subterráneo, construido o labrado y cubierto por una bóveda de cañón o ligeramente apuntada o en cúpula de casquete, hecha de ladrillo. El agua acumulada suele proceder de la lluvia recogida de los tejados de las casas o de las acogidas del entorno canalizadas hasta él. Suele estar construido con ladrillos unidos con argamasa.

The cistern is an Arab cistern to store water, generally drinkable.
The traditional Arab model is a totally or partially subterranean container, built or carved and covered by a barrel vault or slightly pointed or cap-domed brick vault. The accumulated water usually comes from the rain collected from the roofs of the houses or from the receptions of the environment channeled to it. It is usually built with bricks joined with mortar.
