Abstract

The heritage areas carry the identity and culture of our past nations. They tell us what happened to our great ancients and how they obligated the cruel circumstances for their hard living. Heritage buildings remind us of our great roots, which reflect on their architecture and spaces. So, the research aims to put a group of SLR adapatation policies and strategies be maintain on the remains for next generations. The Citadel of Qaitbay has been selected as a case study that classified as category (A) in the value degree. It is obligated to a protection strategy for the shoreline and few modifications inside the citadel to be restored to its good state. The analytical approach will be used in the research. SLR adaptation and conservation mechanisms are vital approaches to preserve the history and culture of nations in the coastal zones. Besides these approaches, it could be integrating with other programs (e.g. special development programs). Soft protection is the main process of SLR adaptation strategies and is more sustained in such areas. The accommodation strategy is considered the rehabilitation process of the building. Retreat strategy is used rarely when treating the heritage areas.
