Water system and mosque ruins found at Salah al-Din Castle
A joint Egyptian-French expedition has uncovered an integrated water system and remains of a Mamluk-era mosque near the Citadel of Salah El-Din in Cairo. The excavations revealed two large wells that used a system of aqueducts to transfer water, along with architectural and service elements showcasing a high level of engineering planning during the Mamluk period. This discovery opens new horizons for studying the development of engineering and water projects in that historical era. It comes as part of a scientific project aimed at documenting and rehabilitating the archaeological areas surrounding the Citadel.
