The courtyard’s layout embodies the concept of the “Eleven Steps of Knowledge,” representing different stages of learning. Each level signifies a milestone in the quest for knowledge, culminating at the highest point with a flowing stream. This stream, coupled with the greenery, serves a dual purpose—maintaining a refreshing atmosphere and promoting natural air circulation. This thoughtful arrangement not only enhances aesthetics but also creates an environment conducive to learning and reflection.

Bab Zuwayla (باب زويلة) is one of three remaining gates in the city wall of the Old City of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It was also known as Bawabbat al-Mitwali during the Ottoman period. It is considered one of the major landmarks of the city and is the last remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid-era Cairo in the 11th and 12th century. Its name comes from Bab, meaning "gate", and Zuwayla, as it was the Western Gate of the city that had a trade route for overland travelers with Zuwayla in the Fezzan.
