Nothing to rave about seeing their architecture. But you have to visit to believe and experience this.

It is a nice garden with great choice of restaurants. You will see most of Cairo and specially at sun set. The restaurants and food quality is good but little bit expensive. I recommend going there for lunch and dinner for a change

we went to Al Azhar park twice. Lots of egyptians enjoying the weather and the views. We went in the late afternoon both times and had tea and a snack at the restaurant by the lake. Definitely a place to calm down after fighting traffic and cabs elsewhere. you do need to take a cab to get there.

beautiful and expansive park about 2km north of the citadel where many Egyptian families (ESP. With young children) will come to spend an afternoon. The citadel view restaurant is quite pricey but offers great views of the city. A nice place to escape from the chaos of the city with friendly locals. £7 egp entry per person

You cannot visit Cairo without visiting as well the Al-Azhar Park. This Aga Khan Award winning project is amazing. The peaceful gardens and the beautiful buildings add a special charm to the place. A golf cart will take you around and the driver will tell you all about the history of the place. At the end you can have a... More

We just came back from the park. The parking is modern and clean, a little golf car picked us up and drove us into the park. There's a big playground for children. Local children were very eager to take pics, kiss and talk to our small children. They were all very nice, but it was a bit too much. Everybody... More
