President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Prince Muhammad bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, witnessed in the presence of His Eminence the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the completion of the restoration of Al-Azhar Mosque.
The renovation of Al-Azhar Mosque, which lasted for more than three years and was granted by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and under the auspices of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, King of Saudi Arabia. It is one of the largest and broadest restoration and development operations witnessed by Al-Azhar Mosque throughout its history that exceeded a thousand years.
The restoration process also included completely changing and modernizing the infrastructure of Al-Azhar Mosque, including floors, furniture, lighting, water, drainage, ventilation and sound networks, according to the latest international standards and with similar materials used in the Great Mosque of Mecca.
In the new restoration process, the monumental nature of the mosque was taken into account. All steps were taken under the full supervision of the Ministry of Antiquities, and all stages of the restoration were documented, so that there is a comprehensive file for each stone, pillar and corner inside the mosque, including its status before, during and after the restoration process.
