Muqashqish Collection

Owning Institution: UCLA, Digital Library Program

About this Collection

This collection contains images documenting the mosque of Abu ‘Ali Isma’il al- Muqashqish and the adjacent Luxor Police Station. A site of significance in the history of Luxor city, the mosque of Abu ‘Ali Isma’il al- Muqashqish, as well as the nearby Luxor Police Station, was documented by the office of Hampikian-Ibrashy under the auspices of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE). This was in response to plans to tear down both these structures to build the Avenue of the Sphinxes. Architects Nairy Hampikian & May El-Ibrashi documented the sites extensively through photo, manual, and digital architectural documentation methods. This was made possible with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (formerly the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities). View this collection on the contributor's website.
