The Azhar Park

Spanning 30 hectares, Al-Azhar Park is Cairo’s lungs in a bustling urban environment. Once a wasteland of debris, it was transformed into an oasis through the Aga Khan Trust for Culture’s efforts, officially opening to the public in 2005.

The park showcases beautiful manicured gardens, verdant lawns, and impressive fountains. Visitors can enjoy cultural significance via its dramatic views of Cairo, outdoor seating at various restaurants, and the historical context of nearby Ayyubid walls. The entry point through Bab Al Mahruq, opened in 2009, provides easier access for local residents.
