We are indebted to him for the survival of many important monuments in Cairo, white in the case of those which he restored he determined their present-day shape to a considerable degree. Herz was the first director of the Arab Museum (now Museum of Islamic Art) and also an accomplished scholar.

The chequered life-story of a personality kind in human inter-course yet demanding in professional work unfolds in convection with the architecture of the city that is richest in the world in monuments of Islamic art.
