Cairo University Restores Kasr El Aini Clock Tower

Cairo University has begun, as part of its comprehensive development plan for Qasr El Eini Hospitals, a pioneering restoration project that includes the historic clock tower and the domed roof at Qasr El Eini Faculty of Medicine. The project aims to restore the original elements of the buildings without altering their architectural identity or historical character, while preserving their symbolism as part of the history of Qasr El Eini and Egyptian medicine. The work includes restoring the facades, reactivating the mechanical clock components, refurbishing the dome and ancient statues, as well as preserving the architectural and archaeological elements using modern techniques and laboratory analyses to ensure material compatibility with the original. This project represents an important step toward enhancing the infrastructure of the university hospitals and supporting their therapeutic and educational capabilities, coinciding with the celebration of the centenary of this historic medical institution.
