The former agency of Dawood Basha in Rosetta – Egypt, As an example of Islamic agencies

Abstract

The importance of this research is attributed to the restoration of the architectural heritage of Rosetta in the Ottoman era, through transforming information into architectural designs of the buildings that existed at those times and were destroyed by various reasons, highlighting the importance of urban and architectural style.

In this work, we examined these documents and information about the‘Wekala’ of Dawood Pashaand transformed information into architectural designs to provide the reader and researcher with a picture of these monuments as they were before.

Since these documents are numbered in hundreds and are kept in volumes, we have dealt with them as little as we need in this work, and we referred to other sources to complete the information that we did not find in the documents mentioned.

Keywords: Rosetta, Ottoman era, Dawood Pasha, formerWekalat, Commercial establishments, architectural designs, architectural heritage.
