Cairo: Prime Minister MoUstafa Madbouly and his accompanying delegation headed via the new Salah Salem axis to inspect ongoing development works in the Sayeda Aisha and Sayeda Nafisa areas within the framework of government efforts to revive historical areas and raise the efficiency of infrastructure and traffic axes in Cairo.

According to State Information Service Egypt, Madbouly monitored traffic flow on the new axis, which Cairo Governor Ibrahim Saber explained was implemented with the Armed Forces Engineering Authority over three kilometers from the Citadel to Fustat to ease congestion and facilitate movement from Old Cairo.

Upon arriving at the Sayeda Aisha and Sayeda Nafisa areas, Madbouly inspected new roads designed to facilitate access to archaeological sites and shrines. Saber noted these axes belong to a comprehensive plan transforming Sayeda Aisha Square into an open museum and tourist walkway.

The Prime Minister also reviewed the implementation of 160-meter artistic murals under the Abageyah Bridge at the intersection of the old and new Salah Salem axes. The governor affirmed that these historically inspired mosaic panels aim to improve the visual identity of main roads and turn spaces under bridges into attractions reflecting the capital's heritage.

He added that the murals coincide with a comprehensive development plan around the bridge including road upgrades, lighting, and landscaping. Madbouly then inspected the project to relocate the Sayeda Aisha parking terminal to improve mass transit and traffic discipline.

Saber explained that the temporary old terminal near the Al-Musabeh Mosque caused severe congestion, prompting its relocation 500 meters away to accommodate nearly 1,000 vehicles across 14 routes to provide civilized parking and eliminate slums. The Governor noted that the area near the removed terminal is witnessing the restoration of several mosques and archaeological sites to revive Islamic heritage and Egyptian architectural identity.

The restoration works include the Al-Musabeh and Al-Ghouri Mosques, along with the Qawsun and Sultaniyya minarets to highlight Islamic architecture and raise awareness of the capital's cultural value.
