History


Hassan Fathy started the first phase of the village construction project by building 70 houses, so that each house has a distinct characteristic from the others so that the matter does not confuse the residents, and the design of the houses relied on local materials and materials, and it was influenced by Islamic architecture.
The domes had their unique design, which was used instead of the ceilings that depend on wooden panels or the usual iron skewers, and an additional door was allocated in the houses for the livestock, which the residents of the area acquired, as a kind of sanitary insulation, in order to preserve the safety of individuals.
Three schools were built in the village, the first for boys and the second for girls, and the third was a school to teach handicrafts that the Qurna region was famous for, such as alabaster, spinning, weaving and the manufacture of palm products. He did not neglect the religious aspect that distinguishes the people of the village, or the recreational aspect to compensate them for their homes from which they were forcibly displaced.
