| dc.description | Built in the 17th c., the Wikala-Rab' of al-Bazar'a indicates the persistance of this type of commercial architecture which was fixed towards the end of the 15th c. (e.g., the Wikala of Sultan Qaytbay of 1480). It consists of stores on the ground floor, lodgings in a gallery on the second floor, and a rab' on the two top floors with split-level apartments with private terraces. Its remarkable verticality is characteristically Egyptian, and forms an interesting contrast with the Rab'-Wikala of Dhu'l Fiqar Katkhuda (1673), which is rather horizontal, probably following Syrian models. | en_US |
