Two of Egypt’s heritage sites — a 50-year-old village built by a famous architect, and an 800-year-old mosque built of mud and salt — are in danger of decay, according to the World Monuments Fund (WMF).
The WMF releases a biennial watch list of the 100 most endangered sites worldwide. This year, the Old Mosque of Shali Fortress in Siwa and the New Gourna Village, occupied by residents for only the past two and a half years, were named as endangered monuments where protection is both needed and possible, if conservation authorities take the necessary steps.
