Strength: -historical value (has a large number of historic elements of the ottoman period ) - a good location near the sea and the Nile river
Weakness: - rigid plan (the wall are already built )
- the age of the house can cause structural problems
opportunities: - there are a lot of attractions in the city - the house special location near the sea and the Nile river and Commercial streets
Threats: - concentration of high population density affecting circulation and traffic flow
