Escape the city noise and lights and take your family to enjoy a beautiful day out, smell the fresh air and feel the grass between your fingers. At Al Azhar Park there will be nothing else but you, your family, a big park for your kids to run at and maybe a bit of music for your own pleasure. Al Azhar Park, located by the Old City of Cairo, offers a 30-hectare expanse of greenery on what was dust and rubble for over two centuries. Offering a contemporary design inspired by historic Islamic gardens, the spine is a formal axis with a water channel leading in the direction of a small lake, with accompanying alleyways, and pointing towards the Citadel. Gardens and pavilions enhance the arrival point on the edge of the lake. Restaurants are also available for lunch/dinner with a spectacular view.
