Al-Azrah Park, Cairo

Al-Azhar Park in Cairo is the epitome of the triumph of deep urban planning, architecture and an inspiring connection to the environment. It took a decade to build Al-Azhar Park, but the hills and well-kept gardens provide Cairo residents with the greenery they need. For a long time, this place was a dump and did not provoke a feeling in people that one day they will need the "green liver". 
Al-Azhar Park was opened in 2005 and cost the country $ 30 million, stretching from the Al-Azhar Mosque to the Citadel. It shines bathed in green light against the background of everything dusty and stony around.
Today, Al-Azhar Park parades lush symmetrically planted trees, a small lake, roads, paths, a children's playground and fruit orchards. It is divided in two by a wonderful Persian garden with a water canal in the middle. Artificial lakes and a wonderful complex with recreated illustrations from the era of the Fatimids and Mamluks are among the wonderful places that bring pleasure. There is no lack of cafes or children's playground, there is even an amphitheater and a stage.
In future projects for innovations of the park, the construction of a connected museum is planned, which will reveal the whole history around the origin and development of the city. All this, glorifying Al-Azhar Park, was developed and subordinated to the concept of the classical Islamic garden. Al-Azhar Park is a creation of Egyptian architects Rami El Dahan and Farid, inspired by the architecture of the Darb El Dahan region.
For greater effect, they use elements such as vaulted ceilings and arches. Another building in the park - a pavilion in the lake, designed by French architect Serge Santelli, is a modern interpretation of a classic Islamic pavilion.
