GBP 3 mn invested into Egyptian cultural heritage projects

The UK’s Cultural Protection Fund is providing GBP 3 mn for six Egyptian cultural heritage projects across the country, which gather international experts from world renowned universities, foundations and international bodies, according to a statement. The fund, delivered in partnership with the British Council, brought together a delegation of experts in Cairo last week, to observe the restoration of Mamlouk Minbars in Cairo, a traditional rock-salt mosque in Siwa, and other projects.
