Sharia Al Gamaliyya was the heart of a trading district in medieval Cairo, and a major thoroughfare. Today it's more like a back alley with a real local residential feel. At its southern end, running off Midan Al Hussein, many facades above the shopfronts are obscured by webs of restorers’ wooden scaffolding. Heading north, one completed project is the 1408 Mosque of Gamal Ad Din, cleaned up to reveal a row of shops below, the rent from which contributed to the mosque’s upkeep.
