Cairo Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber, accompanied by Presidential Advisor for Local Development and Chairman of the Cairo Heritage Development Committee (CHDC) Dr. Khaled Fouda, inspected the renovation and development work at the Sultan Abul Ela Mosque, located in the Boulaq Abul Ela district. This renovation is part of the government's efforts to preserve archaeological sites and regain the former significance and tourism appeal of historic Cairo.

The governor was accompanied by Deputy Cairo Governor Ibrahim Abdel Hadi, Assistant Advisor to the President for Urban Planning Amr Abdel Moneim, Assistant Advisor to the President for Local Development Dr. Abdullah Al-Sherif, representatives from the Ministries of Endowment and Antiquities, and several officials from the Cairo Governorate.

The tour of Governor Saber and Presidential Advisor Fouda is part of a continuous effort to monitor the project's execution rates, advance its progress while addressing any obstacles, and adhere to the established timelines.

The Ministry of Antiquities, in collaboration with the Ministry of Endowments, is undertaking restoration efforts to return the mosque, established in 890 AH (1485 AD), to its original condition and ensure its preservation. The mosque houses the shrine of Al-Hussein Abu Ali, also known as Sultan Abul Ela, whose lineage is traced back to Imam Hussein.
