| Abstract | ||||
| Egypt has always been the incubator of all religions, being the best example of tolerance, coexistence, and acceptance of the other throughout history. This can be indicated through the presence of places of worship for the three religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) in the same region on its land forming what is known as the ‘Religions Complex’, which is a source of holiness and spirituality. The current research studies the idea of developing a proposed project for a new Religions Complex in one of the most important Cairo’s historic sites (Fatimid Cairo), which was designated on the World Heritage Map and considered a place of worship for all religions. The Objective of the Research • Gaining insight into a New Religions Complex in Cairo. • Examining selected historical monuments in Fatimid Cairo and determining the implications for its future development. • Outlining a developing vision for the region’s inclusion on the World Tourist Map. • Seeking to better understand Egypt’s History. | ||||
