An Adaptive Reuse Project in the Cemetery:

The Al-Imam al-Shafi'i Visitors' Centre is hosted in a rehabilitated 19th-century building attached to the vestibule of the dome. It was previously used as an annex consisting of several rooms used by the endowments.
The adaptive reuse of the annex is designed to showcase the archaeological artifacts and discoveries made during the dome's 2016-2021 conservation project.
The design methodology of the visitors' centre was developed in a way to provide information and display it in a simple way. It also provides an exciting and interactive experience, suiting all ages and interests and encouraging the sense of exploring the space in different ways.

Al-Imam al-Shafi'i Visitors’ Centre project was implemented by Megawra from 2021 to 2022, with funding from the US Embassy in Cairo.
