President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Monday directed the Armed Forces Engineering Authority to develop mausoleums of Ahl al-Bayt in an integrated way with all surrounding services and facilities, Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady said.

Sisi’s instructions came during his meeting with Adviser for Urban Planning Major General Amir Sayed Ahmed, Head of the Armed Forces Engineering Authority Major General Ehab El-Far, Director of the Armed Forces Engineering Authority Advisory Office Major General Ashraf El-Araby, and Assistant Director for road designs at the Armed Forces Engineering Authority Brigadier General Abdel Aziz El-Feki to follow up implementation of the authority’s projects.
