Ahram Online that the restoration project is funded by a grant from the Prince
Claus Foundation.
Abdel-Aziz
explains that the restoration project will be executed in two phases. The first
will include the removal of all dust and garbage accumulated around the site
and the consolidation of the bathhouse walls from inside and outside as well as
the oven area, while the second phase will include the restoration of the
building and its decorative elements.

Al-Sharaybi bathhouse was constructed during the rule of Sultan Qonsua El-Ghouri

Dada Al-Sharaybi was the original owner of the bathhouse.
