A picture shows details of wall adornments on the holy ark, where the Torah scrolls were kept, at the restoration site of the Moses Ben Maimon synagogue in the el-Gamaliya area in old Cairo on August 20, 2009. The structure was built in the late 18th century in honour of Moses Ben Maimon, a philosopher and doctor born in 1135 in Cordoba, Spain, who died in Cairo on 1204. It sits on the grounds where his clinic once stood and where he reportedly treated warrior Salaheddine al-Ayyubi who fought the crusaders. The synagogue's restoration is expected to be complete in June 2010. AFP PHOTO/CRIS BOURONCLE (Photo credit should read CRIS BOURONCLE/AFP via Getty Images)
