Conservation of the Early 13th-Century al-Imam al-Shafii Mausoleum in Historic Cairo, Phase 2

Located in Cairos City of the Dead, the mausoleum is the burial place and shrine of Al-Imam al-ShafiI, one of moderate Sunni Islams foremost figures and the founder of one of its rites.

This project, which continues work begun under a previous AFCP grant, directly supports the Embassys efforts to enhance regional security and the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Egypt concerning the imposition of import restrictions on categories of Egyptian archaeological material.
