Dark tourism is a relatively modern tourism style; it occurs in locations that evoke negative memories for the tourist. Many countries worldwide seek to demonstrate their tourism potential in this manner. Egypt has many attractions that could be utilised for this type of tourism during the course of Egypt's history.

The data was collected by using the descriptive analytical method through 131 questionnaires, all of which were suitable for statistical analysis .The study concluded the ability of carrying out the suggested dark route through Islamic Architecture in this district.
