Dome of Cairo's Imam Al Shafi'i mosque reopened after restoration

SHARE Egypt’s tourism and antiquities minister inaugurated the newly restored dome of the Imam Al Shafi i Mosque in Old Cairo on Sunday in celebration of World Heritage Day. A prominent Ayyubid landmark of Islamic Cairo, the Imam Al Shafi’i mosque reopened in November after a three-year renovation. The dome, which predates the mosque by a few centuries, required more extensive work. The contract for the extensive restoration of the mosque and the dome, a joint effort by the ministries of tourism and awqaf, or religious endowments, was awarded to the state-owned Arab Contractors Company. Tourism Minister Khaled El Anany said his ministry oversaw the decorative and cultural restoration while the Awqaf Ministry provided the funding.
