Abstract

Historical streets are considered as the main spines of the city, it provides cultural
knowledge and great income from cultural tourism. Alexandria is one of the most important cities
around the world where it embraces a big number of monuments with different styles and history,
while the city has witnessed different cultural periods. By studying the map of Alexandria, El-
Nabi Daniel street was found as one of the oldest spines in the city which made it rich in history
by holding many different significant buildings. All this leads the researchers to introduce a
designed proposal for a cultural touristic tour in this special spine. This paper aims to enhance
cultural tourism in the oldest street in Alexandria “El-Nabi Daniel street” and to revive the
street’s heritage buildings. The proposed cultural path will present a new experience of
Alexandria’s Downtown, exploring its multiple points of interests and heritage sites.
