Unfortunately, most of Egyptian intangible cultural heritage, including Egyptian heritage lifestyle, food, traditions, and customs have not been well recorded and therefore we don’t have plenty of resources documenting the memories for future generations. On the other hand, I would like to acknowledge Center for Documentation of Cultural and Natural Heritage (CULTNAT) which is dedicated to documenting Egyptian intangible heritage through its innovative information and digital technologies as well as its publications.
Egyptian dish still has its unique features and taste, although Egyptian culture knows various dishes as a result of globalization. Regarding to the origins of lifestyle in Egypt, major Egyptian intangible heritage features belong to rural community including customs, traditions, proverbs, dishes etc. Egyptian kitchen has its culinary traditions exploring the ingredient “milk” specifically with dessert dishes.

By Mr. Mohamed Badry in 5 October 2016
Construction of houses, settlements, or dwellings, in any architectural expression, is aimed at creating security and a comfortable environment. This perspective appears clearly within Islamic traditional architectural heritage in Egypt especially during Mamluk and Ottoman periods. During Islamic era, there are architects who built settlements considering the regulations of Islamic religion while the others built dwellings serving the community interactions specifically their socio-cultural needs. The former aspect is appeared through Rosetta/ Rashid urban-cultural landscape.Rosetta is an Egyptian city. It is located in northern coast beside Alexandria. This city is called“Rashid” by Egyptians . It has a great historical significance. It was flourished at the end of Mamluk period as a military town specifically with Qaitbay Fortress where Rosetta stone was discovered as well as a commercial town.
