💰🏡This Man’s Hypothetical Cairo Renovation Plans Are Coming To Life!

From TikTok to Tiring: Architect Salem Mostafa Turns Viral Dreams into Real Restoration

• What started as dreamy digital makeovers on social media has now turned into bricks-and-mortar reality for Egyptian architect Salem Mostafa. After gaining a loyal following for his stunning hypothetical redesigns of Cairo’s historic buildings, Salem has officially joined forces with Egypt’s Urban Harmony Organization—and he’s diving headfirst into restoring some of the city’s most iconic sites.

• First on the list? The legendary Tiring building in Downtown Cairo. This architectural treasure, dating back to the early 1900s, is getting a much-needed facelift—and not just on the outside. Salem, along with a team of seasoned architects and preservation experts, is making sure the interior soul of the building is restored too.

• But it doesn’t stop there. He’s also working on reviving other heritage-rich areas like El Ataba and El Korba, tackling layers of neglect and years of urban wear and tear. His goal? To make restoration a cultural priority, not just a one-off project.

• Salem’s message is simple but powerful: we need to stop overlooking the places that tell our story. Because when we preserve history, we’re not just saving buildings—we’re reviving the spirit of the city.
