Bazar Abbas is an outstanding example of a hybrid between local architecture and European modernism. This architectural typology can be seen in various shapes and forms throughout the city of Port Said. Like many other structures of the same period, Bazar Abbas suffers from absence of protective measures and is under pressure from incompatible development forces. Bazar Abbas has been striving to establish its identity since the decline of Port Said's cosmopolitan culture and the socio-economic turbulences that followed. After the Arab-Israeli war, Bazar Abbas lost its main users, the international inhabitants. In 1956, the triple aggression in Port Said created an anti-colonization atmosphere that had a negative impact on its modern heritage. The turning point for Bazar Abbas occurred in the post-1976-war period when the urgent needs of newcomers led to the overpopulation of its first floor. The excessive use resulted in significant deterioration of the Bazar, which continued until 1980 when the government evacuated the building due to safety concerns. Since then, no protective measures have been implemented, leaving Bazar Abbas in a critical state. Today, the ground floor continues to be used as a marketplace and holds high importance for the local community.
