more specific really thank u, but is there a more specific word in arabic, than sollam or daraj, that refers to a "group of stairs" collectively?

agree Dina Abdo : but I don't think the word الطويلة is needed here because the phrase itself expresses it.

ثلاث مجموعات من السلالم

I think we can not say stairs only because flight=(set of stairs)so if we say (سلالم), the translation will be (ثلاث سلالم)which is not poper Arabic.

Wish my explanation has a common sense.

رمية

This suggestion harks back to the local home construction lingo used in Qatif, Saudi Arabia. An architect would say to a prospective home builder, for instance, that to build a stairway in such a tiny space, you would have to break it into ثلات رميات, and so on. I really have no idea if this expression is used anywhere else.
