The shrine of the Prophet Ezekiel or his local name (Al-Kifl or Dhu Al-Kifl) is located in Iraq within the Al-Kifl area in the southwest of the center of Babil Governorate. The shrine is considered to be the reason behind the emergence of the historical complex and the growth of the town in general. Where a group of complementary buildings were erected around it throughout the ages and with it, the residential area surrounding the center was built (Figure 1). Perhaps the establishment of the Nukhailah Mosque in the middle ages is one of the most important anomalies in this complex, as the mosque represented a new focus announcing the interest of Muslims in the shrine, which led to a tension between the Jewish and Muslim religious authorities with the succession of their administration as per the historical circumstance. As a result, the site went through several stages of additions and demolitions which resulted in a complicated historical, architectural and urban complex, which is still experiencing changes up to this time.
The research examines a practical experiment of the historic building information modelling (HBIM), along with its challenges, benefits, results, and limits applied to the historical complex of the shrine of the Prophet Ezekiel. It also assesses how the current HBIM processes and technologies allow for documenting the state of conservation, with which it aims to assist the stakeholders in establishing a scientific method in documenting and managing this center, and other urban heritage sites
