The principles of sustainability appear in traditional housing in its compatibility with the environment with all its pluses and minuses according to a framework of protection and adjustment, There are several basic principles, which were based on the building of traditional housing, the principles of sustainability include: planning and dealing with the site, design thinking in traditional housing, environmental design and conservation of energy, natural ventilation in traditional systems, and building materials.
As multiple preserve the architectural heritage levels depending on the size and type of heritage and its importance, and are: to maintain the heritage elements, keep one building, such as restoration and renovation of the buildings of heritage and turn them into museums or tourist attractions, and the preservation of a group of buildings, or complete a heritage area.
Maintain policies that include two parts: preventive preservation and therapeutic preservation, which includes: protection, preservation and strengthening construction and renovation, restoration, rehabilitation, reproduction and re-construction, maintaining mechanisms: policies and other degrees of intervention, as policies also include renewal, refinement, repair, maintain, restore neighborhoods retrieval, replacement, re-representation, and redevelopment.

The idea was to create a high-forts are difficult to climb vertical making them completely at the bottom and turned to the strengthening of curtain walls are so resistant to bombardment or digging tunnels underneath or earthquakes by increasing the thickness of construction and fencing that a thickness of at least at the top gradually rise and the use of ancient columns asourse in construction inside the walls
This research addresses the architectural study of the forts and castles in Khyber, as one of the tributaries of the architectural heritage of this city, which was characterized by following the Arab architectural planning of military fortifications that had prevailed in the Arabian Peninsula since ancient times.

Heritage and cultural property in all its forms, represents people's Assembly, which passed from generation to generation, where blend the features of national character and national characteristics distinct memory. Monuments constitute an episode of cultural and civilizational evolution, and confirms that the loss of any impact, represents a great loss for all of humanity. In these circumstances, it is not surprising to find that the war took a pose on the monuments and their value, as destroying monuments and cultural property and heritage of many countries, under the pretext of military necessity.
If the media play a national and a national responsibility, especially in the countries and communities in which they locked in a comprehensive counter neo-colonialism and regional and international instruments, as is happening today in many of the Arab world countries, the media transformed by necessity into high-impact strength, and be one of the priorities of its duties is not pumping breaking news field or the immediate prosecution of media hostile lies and refutes it by video and audio and documents, but also to defend the national patriotic memory components, particularly the inherited cultural and civilizational heritage, and thus defend the threatened destruction, mutilation identity.
