| Abstract | ||||
| Exceeding development plans for historical buildings and sites and not developing them as "old heritage" or as "private" buildings that have ended represents an incorrect view. Working on so-called restoration projects inside ancient historical cities with the purpose of preserving the old external appearance without considering the possibility of using external spaces for ancient historical buildings or adapting them to different contemporary needs is an incomplete effort. Therefore, the appropriate approach to developing these areas lies in finding a balance between restoration laws and regulations and the approach to dealing with site coordination and landscaping through creating a balanced and continuous form between the past and present and translating this dialogue into balanced and objective plans that live in the present and look to the future without denying the past. Reviving ancient cities based on adopting the concept of sustainable development and preserving ancient buildings as a fundamental engine for development represents one of the safe outlets for modern and continuous tourism development, and there are many outlets that must be taken into account. Egypt possesses one-third of the world's artifacts, making it a global center for cultural tourism. Therefore, the state's interest in historical, heritage, and historical buildings and sites has increased, and it continues to maintain and preserve them for the longest possible period. It has also tended to list neglected historical and heritage sites and begin reviving and restoring them and benefiting from their placement on Egypt's tourism map. Egypt has made serious efforts to plan its archaeological sites for tourism by developing these sites alongside developing the surrounding environment and upgrading surrounding urban blocks. However, it faced some challenges in designing the external sites for historical buildings, including those related to the human element, legislation and laws, environmental problems, and organizational and technical issues. This research paper identified and listed a large number of challenges that faced and continue to face the coordination of archaeological sites for tourism in Egypt, with some proposals and recommendations on how to overcome them. | ||||
