Egypt wins international award for restoring historic synagogue
Egypt is using an international award it recently won for restoring the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria to promote tourism.
Egypt continues to reap the fruits of its projects to restore synagogues and Jewish monuments across the country.
According to a Facebook post published Oct. 1 by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, the project to restore the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria won the award for the best international project in the category of restoration and rehabilitation projects, in the Engineering News-Record’s Global Best Projects Competition 2021, in which 21 countries participated in 18 different fields in the construction industry.
The winners were announced on the ENR website Sept. 27.
Egypt's Youm7 website published an article Sept. 30, saying that “the award is particularly important because ENR specializes in covering news and making professional analyzes on construction projects worldwide, which made it one of the most trusted magazines in the construction industry. ENR annually compiles a ranking of the largest contractors, engineering firms and major construction projects in the United States and around the world.”
