Cairo
Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber stated that the Hamam Market, located in the Sayeda
Aisha neighborhood, will not be removed, as it is one of the historic markets
in the area. He added that the ongoing work aims to improve efficiency and
organize the area as part of the Historic Cairo Development Project.
Governor Saber also
stated that it will remain in its current location, spanning the area from the
Sayeda Aisha Bridge to the beginning of the new Salah Salem axis (Hamam Market
Street). He emphasized that the development work will not affect any pigeon breeders
or vendors who frequent the area, as part of the commitment to preserving the
heritage markets that characterize Cairo.
The governor made
these remarks during his inspection tour of the area around the Sayeda Aisha
Square. He also inspected the ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the
surroundings along the Salah Salem alternative axis.
Moreover, Saber said
the ongoing efforts aim to transform the Sayeda Aisha area into a tourist
destination, which connects the Religions Complex, the Magra El-Oyuoun
Aqueduct, and the mosques of the Prophet's family. It is also adjacent to the
Fustat Hills area.
