This project will support the complete renovation of the Dar Al-Saada Dome.
This project will support the complete renovation of the Dar Al-Saada Dome, an important example of Mamluk masonry and architecture in Gaza, for its adaptive reuse as a multi-purpose community education and exhibition centre. The restored dome will also create a safe environment for manuscripts from the 13th century library of the Great Omari Mosque, which will undergo conservation as part of a specialised training programme for local conservators. A community outreach programme will support efforts to improve the school’s heritage curriculum through the development of a cultural heritage education programme and participatory research activities will culminate in a three-day festival to share and celebrate community created outputs.
