Minister of Tourism and Archaeology, Sharif Fathi, successfully completed repairs to the shrine of Sultan Gaitbai, the architectural artifact dating back to the fifteenth century, located in the city of Al-Mutai (the historic artefact region) of Cairo, and the restoration project was implemented through a partnership between the United States Embassy, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the company «Architecture Arkinos»I'm sorry.
The embassy was awarded in 2022 a $340,000 grant for a company. «Architecture Arkinos» Through the American Ambassador ' s Fund for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage to contribute to the preservation of this outstanding cultural teacher.
Ms. Agnishka Dubrovolska, director of a company, also attended the ceremony «Architecture Arkinos»I'm sorry.
The Chargé d ' affaires Robert Silverman said during the ceremony: «These efforts are not merely documenting the past, but a bridge to the future, where our support for the preservation of cultural heritage reflects the commitment of the United States to honour common history, empower societies and build a safer, stronger and prosperous future for our countries.»I'm sorry.
The United States affirms its commitment to preserving cultural heritage through the American Ambassador ' s Fund for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, a programme that employs American resources to protect historic buildings, monuments, archaeological sites, museum groups, oceanographic acquisitions, paintings, manuscripts, indigenous languages and other traditional cultural expressions.
In Egypt alone, the United States invested over $3.5 million in 17 projects through this fund, reflecting a long-term commitment to protect the rich Egyptian cultural heritage.
The restoration of Sultan Gaitbai ' s shrine has not only preserved its architectural and historical value, but has also contributed to the revitalization of the surrounding area by attracting increasing numbers of visitors. The Sultan Gaitbai compound, known as its special title, is one of the most notable monuments in Egypt, and its image is also reflected in the paper-based Egyptian pound category.
Historically, the site was used as a cemetery for the salads and senior State agents during the Maluk era, and later it became buried for a number of prominent families.
The restoration of Sultan Gaitbai ' s shrine represents a new example of the commitment of the United States to its partnership with Egypt in the preservation of cultural heritage, and it is expected that two new projects will be launched shortly with the support of the United States Ambassador ' s Fund for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, one in the Historical Aesthetic Region of Cairo, and the other in the Temple of the City of Habo in Al-As.
