When the Great Alexander came to establish Alexandria city in 331 B.C, he ordered his Greek engineer “Dinokratis” to put a plan for the new city. This city would be the new capital of Egypt, so he selected this city for its location on the Mediterranean Sea. This city is near to Al syadeen (fishermen) village which is called Rakota or Raquoda, in short time Raquoda became economical, political and cultural centre of the world. The centre has been taken this name to represent the idea of reviving Egypt`s stature in heritage and culture especially among Egyptians. The Foundation includes qualified people in the field of archaeology, archaeological conservation and the fields of various arts, for instance, “photography, sculpture, decoration and decor...etc.” Some of us worked at cultural and scientific institutions and Egyptian universities. Our visions are based on establishment the centre to unify thoughts and efforts. The Foundation aims to make activities and variety of events at the artistic level
