Historic mosque reopens following six-year renovation

It’s a blissfully quiet morning in the international press: The sole piece of note comes to us from Reuters, which reports that the historic mosque of al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah in old Cairo has been reopened following a EGP 85 mn renovation. The mosque, named after the sixth Fatimid caliph, is the second-largest and fourth-largest in the country. The refurb began in 2017 through a collaboration between the Bohra Shia sect and Egypt's antiquities authority.
