Why Majra EL-Uyon?

-A project of art and history which is proposed to be constructed in the area of Majra El-uyon (aqueduct,egypt).

-The basic lines were laid out to visualize the region after the new project

-Due to the establishment of the project on land, as long as it was known for making handmade carpets and because handicrafts became threatened with extinction

-The idea was generated to design a handicraft center at the heart of the new project to serve as a link to the gap between heritage crafts and the technology age
