How to show the Sacred Mosque and the surrounding area architecture, and from here comes the problem of the research. The Speed that accompanied the architectural development of the Holly Sanctuary had a negative impact on the Sacred Mosque, the buildings aren’t computable with the heritage, the buildings around the Sacred Mosque are too high, and it is adjacent to the Sacred Mosque. The new buildings miss all features of Islamic heritage, or Hegazi style, it came in a superficial way completely far away from the Islamic style.The research aims to: interest in the Holly Sanctuary region and the area around it, the Mecca is not only an Islamic city, or just a geographical or historical phenomenon, but is first and foremost a religious  phenomenon, characterized by sanctification and glorification of Allah and His Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him, according to the Islamic law. As the historic character of the place imposes on us to maintain the dignity and prestige of the most important mosques the earth, it is the first Mosque built on the earth, Considering the importance of building heights in the area of the Sacred Mosque in Mecca it was a must adhere to buildings map planning that move away from the mosque by an enough distance to allow the mosque can be seen from a distance, Out of respect and honor for this mosque, and to preserve the dignity and prestige of the House of Allah, and mustn’t be any building as high as it or higher than it, Based on Islamic law, which was imposed on us to glorify the rituals of Allah’s commands, through the preservation of the architectural heritage and Islamic identity of the region, thus achieving the aesthetic aspects of Islamic architecture, architecture is a pot of civilization, which represents the cultural identity of the creative and aesthetic level of the human being.
