Abstract: Research has lately started to shed light on some places of interest that still maintains a clear traditional architectural heritage. Some studies have described and analyzed this type of architecture in the Western Desert, while others have dealt with it from an engineering point of view with the aim of studying the bases of the design of this traditional architecture and comparing it with modern architecture. However, the focus has been on the remaining models of this architecture in Al-Dakhla Oasis, specially in Al-Qasr and Balat as well as in Shali and Agourmy in Siwa Oasis. However, these studies have not paid attention to the remaining models of traditional architecture in Al-Kharga Oasis, which currently include only Darb Al-Sindadiya in Old Kharga, after all old darbs in this oasis have got ruined and disappeared because of the immigration of their inhabitants to modern districts. This has been the destiny of Darb Al-Sindadiya since the 1990s; it is facing threats of extinction as the condition of its houses, shops and taverns has worsened. Their ceilings and walls collapsed, and palm and doum wood planks carrying the ceilings of many of these constructions, as well as the wooden shutters of their doors, were removed, something which precipitated the collapse of these constructions, blocked the roads leading to them, and led to the disappearance of their features. Added to this is the random overlap of modern houses built with materials foreign to the environment with these traditional houses, due to ignorance of the importance of this heritage on the one hand, and lack of financial resources required to keep and preserve it on the other hand. Hence the significance of the present study which aims at accurately documenting the remaining constructions of Darb Al-Sindadiya and illustrating every architectural unit and element with architectural designs and photographs. Such documentation will be a research record of these models and will, no doubt, support any future projects for the reparation and restoration of their remains. The study also aims at shedding light on the comparison between the layout of these models, whether in Egypt, as in Al-Dakhla and Siwa Oases, or in Al-Maghreb countries, e.g. Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, and their counterparts in the Western Desert oases. In terms of environmental, social and religious aspects, to identify the similarities and differences between them and attempt to explain them.
