Is there still a real phenomenon of the "Arab-Islamic city", as active as the way it existed in the past, does this phenomenon have new patterns that reflect the Arab-Muslim community, or it was transformed by the challenges to a city that does not bear any pattern that reflect the patterns of the Arab-Islamic city?.
