C.I.T.E. reinforced and treated the east minaret of the Umayyad Mosque, known as the Jesus Minaret. It had already been rebuilt several times, the latest being after an earthquake in 1759. Islamic tradition says Jesus will return to earth on this white minaret at the end of time.

C.I.T.E. also treated and protected the stone walls and exquisite ornamentation of the west minaret, called the Kattbai or Al-Maskiya Minaret. It was severely damaged in 1479 and rebuilt by the Mamluk Sultan Abu Al-Nasr Kattbai Al-Mahmoudi in 1488.

In another phase of the project, C.I.T.E. treated the mosque's rooftop and the north tower. The latter is named the Aroos (or Bride) Minaret because of the way it looks when lit up by lanterns on special occasions.
