There is a need for exploring new development approaches to vitalize Egyptian economy and tourism. The research was oriented to developing tourism development plans that depend on crafts. Similar cases were analyzed where development strategies were carried out in a craftsmanship zone that resulted in turning them into international attraction destinations for crafts. The research attempts to develop a framework that can help formulating strategies for interventions in crafts area and assess challenges that can be faced to turn it into a craft tourism zone. The paper studied one example to support the applied method of the framework. By this solution, we can find a way to build our communities.
