Mausoleum of Shajar El-Durr Rehabilitation Project I
This project includes the conservation of the mausoleum of Shajar Al-Durr, Egypt’s only Islamic queen and the rehabilitation of the unfinished structure adjacent to it (built as a mosque at the turn of the 20th century) as a community and visitor’s center. Project Director: May Al-Ibrashy
| In addition to conserving the buildings unique features, most notably Egypt’s only intact glass mosaic mihrab, the project will also establish a mechanism of sustainable maintenance through use grounded within the larger Athar Lina project in partnership with the community for the care and rehabilitation of Al-Khalifa Street and its monuments. |
