In general, we notice the integrity and continuity in the form of the openings in all the internal and external facades with regard to the housing block. Stone is used for building walls, internally and externally and the internal stairs, while red bricks are used to build internal partitions, and wood is used for roofing housing spaces. The circular and intersecting vaults are used in the ceilings of storehouses, also the windows are provided with wooden mashrabiyyas, and the internal walls in the housing area are all plastered. As we see, most of the construction materials used are natural, suitable for the surrounding climatic conditions and thus fulfilling the various construction requirements. Lighter materials are used for the internal partitions while very enduring materials are used outside and under heavy loads.
Wood is used and decorated as needed, screening the apartments from external surroundings.
Further, we find simplicity prevailing in the design and the internal and external details of the Wakala, which conforms to the spirit of Islam, especially in a place where buying and selling is domineering. This spirit was assured by the existence of the mosque in the wakala's courtyard, where prayers can be held without interrupting the process of buying and selling. It should be duly termed the prestigious handicraft centre which preserves past heritage and enhances current practice. Historical buildings have a lure of their own. One of these monuments is certainly Wakalat Al-Ghouri.
