FEATURES
The UAR Pavilion will consist of two single level structures built primarily of concrete. Panels of colored cut glass, a typical architectural feature of the ancient mosques of Egypt, are being fabricated in Egypt and will be a decorative feature of the exterior.
The entrance mall will be depicted by three large concrete arches from which are suspended three ornamental lanterns of old Cairo.
The smaller of the two structures will be cicular in plan having a domed roof and wall panels of small wood members joined together to create Arabic designs characteristic of the old city of Cairo. The circular structure will house a museum in which great treasures from the Valley of the Kings will be exhibited.
