In response to the formal realization that Cairo as a city severely lacks in open green spaces and pure oxygen, the Azhar Park project was initiated, creating the largest park of its kind in the Middle East and Africa.This achievement was made possible through the patronage of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), and its specialized branch The Historic Cities Support Program (HCSP). The location of the park was chosen for its significance and uniqueness, the site of El-Darassa, surrounded by some of the most popular historic areas in Islamic Cairo, including Al Azhar and Salah Salem streets. The park is of staggering proportions and a pleasant contrast to the surrounding environment of the crowded Cairo city.
