Abstract

One of the ancient human civilizations is the civilization of ancient Egypt, which is understood as the existence of civilization in ancient Egypt from the verses of the Holy Qur'an. The Holy Qur'an refers to the historical geography of Egypt, including fertility, reserves, historical figures of the Egyptian religions, classification of Egyptian rulers and kings, and so on. One of the aspects in these verses of the Holy Qur'an is the quality of architecture and urban planning of the land of Egypt, which in this paper explains the quality of the city Egypt, through an analytical-fundamental method. This paper studies four topics of antiquities and architecture of the Egyptian pyramids, tower and palace construction in Egypt, Egyptian gates and Egyptian urban structure. Finally, the findings suggest that the land of Egypt was one of the most modern areas in terms of urban planning and architectural structure, which indicates the existence of appropriate technical knowledge about this paper at that time.
