Egypt's largest park, located in the middle of Cairo, with a 30 hectare space of greenery, overlooking the antiquity of the old city.
Alazhar Park
Al – Azhar Park functions as a ‘green lung’ because of its enormous potential, being located at the center of a historic location. It was clear that Cairo needed more green space. One study found that the amount of green space per inhabitant was roughly equivalent to the size of a footprint, one of the lowest proportions in the world. The park is the largest green space created in Cairo in over a century, reversing a trend in which unchecked development has virtually eradicated the city's once famous parks.
