The area of Old Cairo is known for its rich and captivating history, but lately, due to its populated and crowded location, it got kinda neglected which led to the need for these preservation projects.

The area of Historic Cairo (Old Cairo) has been a part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites list since 1979 for its great importance!

In the early 2000s, a project was initiated to conduct works of renovation, rehabilitation, and preservation on these monumental sites.
