Cairo’s centuries-old medieval aqueduct is getting a facelift as part of a EGP 6 bn plan to restore the area near the Citadel, which has been damaged by informal housing and a growing number of unlicensed tanner workshops, Gulf News reports. The restoration project includes relocating the workshops away from central Cairo, as well as a long-term plan to rehabilitate the aqueduct’s water wheels and infrastructure.
