Head of the supreme council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri stressed that the ministry is paying great attention to develop this archaeological area, in coordination with all concerned parties, and the experienced technicians affiliated to archaeological crafts institute.

“Sour Magra El-Oyoun”, known as Kanater (barrages), was established by Al-Nasir Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi; Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qala’un renewed it in 712 AH; Al-Ashraf Qansuh Al-Ghuri built water wheels near Al Sayeda Aesha Mosque in 1312 AD.

Nothing remains from the barrages established by Salah al-Din, except few remnants at the beginning of the fence in Salah El-Din Citadel in front of Al Sayeda Aesha Mosque.
