Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi Wednesday watched a documentary about efforts to renovate historical mosques in Egypt.

The documentary focused on eight years of work, during which the Awqaf Ministry has rebuilt and renovated 4,200 mosques across Egypt.
It also underlined big attention paid by President Sisi to particularly renovate “Ahl al-Bayt” shrines, that are of big spiritual significance to Egyptians.The documentary cited the renovation of the Al Hussain Mosque, which was inaugurated in the fasting month of Ramadan last year.
Since 2014, the Egyptian state has also opened 1,600 Quran schools and more than 3,500 recitation classes at mosques across Egypt, according to the documentary.
An Awqaf academy has also organized more than 165 training programs as part of its efforts to invest in humans, the documentary showed.
