Saudi Arabia-based Binladin Group will carry out the renovation works at Cairo's Al Azhar Mosque, said head of the Permanent Commission of Islamic and Coptic Antiquities Mostafa Amin on Tuesday.
He added that the Saudi construction company has submitted all the technical studies needed for the project.
The renovations are financed by Saudi Arabia in appreciation of the role played by Al Azhar in promoting the moderate values of Islam, he added.
