El-Moez Street is home to vendors of anything and everything colourful, blinking and shiny
The Ministry of Antiquities, the governorate of Cairo and the Ministry of Interior have begun implementing a project involving the closing off of Gamaliya Street in the historic Old Cairo and converting it into an open-air museum for pedestrians, similarly to the famous Al-Moez Street, said Minister of Antiquities Mohamed Ibrahim. The minister confirmed that the plan has been approved by the cabinet.
Ibrahim clarified that the project to convert the street into a pedestrian-only zone and museum comes under the bigger goal of renovating historic Cairo with a cost of up to EGP 56m, which includes renovating facades and floors on the street from Bab Al-Nasr to Mashhad Al-Husseiny as well as the area from the intersection of Ghouri Mosque and Al-Azhar Street to Bab Zuweila.
