Rescuing Cairo’s Lost Heritage

Things are only looking brighter every day for historic Cairo as more opportunities for study and work in the field of conservation and restoration of historic monuments continue to open up in Egypt. Decades ago there were very few Egyptians who had the appropriate skills to work on these projects; previously, foreign missions were relied on to conserve very few monuments at an exorbitant cost. Yet now, Egypt's stock of locally trained scientists, engineers, architects, and art historians specializing in conservation and restoration, and progressive construction companies is growing and that means many more conservation projects will be carried out on a massive scale and with a reasonable budget.
