Abstract

The nature of the era, and the imposition of modern developments in society, played a role in stopping the original function of many of the old historical buildings, and that stopping became a reason for neglecting such facilities, and then destroying them, which threatens their demise and greatly reduces the general character of the old city and loses Its general texture. It enjoys a civilization of seven thousand years and a fertile legacy of history and historical places that attract tourists from all parts of the earth. The re-employment of old buildings is an important way to deal with and preserve them as a starting point for sustainable development of ancient cities. To what extent can the re-employment of old buildings contribute to preserving the national and local cultural and urban specificity of Historic Cairo and advancing the process of sustainable urban development for it? Ayoub as a center for the development of handicrafts to preserve our heritage from extinction and re-employ it while preserving its identity
