This document outlines the principle design elements for the vacation home of the President at Gerf Husayn near Aswan. Fathy hoped that the design of this project and the design of the President's residence could serve as a guidance measure for future projects. Fathy discussed the cultural, functional, and economical features necessary for the design and how they could be employed in Nubia and other parts of rural Egypt.
