Al-Azhar Park is a beautiful oasis located in the center of the city of Cairo.

This green space is full of walking paths and gardens, but it is especially notable for its proximity on all sides to some of the most amazing sites in Egypt, such as the mosques of Darb Al Ahmar, the old Fatimid city, the City of the Dead, and the Ayyubid Citadel.

From some of the green hills in Al-Azhar Park, visitors can get a 360-degree view of the city of Cairo.

Visitors can find the remains of a 12th-century wall at Al-Azhar Park, which was discovered while the park was being developed and contains some stones covered in hieroglyphics.
