Summary
Ouda Pasha Agency, one of the few remaining Ottoman agencies in Cairo, faces severe threats due to neglect and improper use, endangering its archaeological and architectural values. A recent study highlights the urgent need for conservation intervention, proposing rehabilitation that integrates the building into its urban context while repurposing it as a commercial craft center and a themed hotel. The research combines detailed analysis of the building's data with an assessment of surrounding urban needs to ensure sustainable preservation.
