Old City Church

Project Description

Located in the Residential District in the southeastern part of the project, the Old City Church comprises a single, continuous two-floor building (ground and first) with a total built-up area of 6,329 m2 and a footprint area of 3,254 m2.

The church consists of a main entrance, horizontal and vertical circulation elements, mechanical and service rooms, prayer hall, toilets, priest rooms, classes, and baptism chambers.
The concept combines the hybrid features of a crossshaped plan and Noah’s Ark in form.
The cross’s longest part is represented by the prayer aisle, and the altar area is located at the cross’s junction.
The contemporary church towers soaring skywards reconstruct the New Al-Alamein City skyline.
