The problem of the research is that the design of furniture for Egyptian embassies and consulates abroad lacks the Egyptian identity.

The research aims at designing the furniture of the Egyptian embassies and consulates halls in a way that bears the Egyptian identity characteristics as one of the methods of tourist attraction for Egypt.

The research hypotheses came as follows: Some of the different and varied legacies of the architectural and decorative elements of the Egyptian civilization can be used in the design of furniture for the Egyptian embassies and consulates abroad.

They were presented to the reception counter in the main reception area and an office of the ambassador or consul chamber combining the features of the ancient Egyptian civilization with the constituents of the flag of Egypt and then highlighting their most important aesthetic values.

The research followed the descriptive analytical approach and was limited to the design of some furniture for Egyptian embassies and consulates abroad with an Egyptian identity.

The results of the research showed that there are some architectural and decorative elements that distinguish the ancient Egyptian civilization and can be used to provide a proposed set of furniture designs for Egyptian embassies and consulates and achieve some aesthetic and functional values.
