This paper will present overview of the revitalization of Khedivial Cairo project, in addition to discuss a case study of the restoration of a building in Kasr Elnil street and the work difficulties, attempts to find solutions and development of responses to these difficulties, these solutions should preserve the identity of the heritage building
