In the Al-Darb Al-Ahmar area of Islamic Cairo stands the Al-Tunbagha Al-Maridani Mosque with its distinguished architectural style reflecting part of Mameluke history. Last week, Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Enany and Sherif Erian, Director of the Aga Khan Cultural Services-Egypt (AKCS-E), visited the mosque to check the restoration work being carried out five months after the signature of a memorandum of understanding between the Ministry and AKCS-E to restore and rehabilitate the mosque and create a visitor route through the area. Mr El-Enany said that cooperation with the AKCS-E as a main partner to restore the mosque could announce further work in the rest of the mosque.
