Earlier this week, the Ministry of Antiquities and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Egypt signed a memorandum of understanding to restore and rehabilitate the Al-Tunbagha Al-Mardani mosque and the creation of visitor routes around the area’s monuments. The memorandum came 20 months after a visit by French expert Christophe Bouleau of the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme (AKHCP) to examine the condition of the mosque as a step towards drawing up a plan for its restoration.
