The National Organization for Urban Harmony aims to apply the project in most documented historical buildings all across Egypt. When the time-worn cracked buildings of the Khedive area went under restoration last year, no one expected the outcome will revive the glorious charm of the once abandoned place. Renovating Khedive area, started in 2016 in an attempt of celebrating the 150th anniversary of establishing Khedive Cairo. Khedive Cairo was established starting in 1867 under the rule of Khedive Ismail, with the help of French architect Housman. The architectural jump during that era caused Cairo to be dubbed the “Middle Eastern Paris.”The Khedive area goes from Qasr El-Nile to Attaba, crossing the Cairo Opera House and Moskey area.
