    One of the dirtiest parks I’ve set foot in. “Guard” at the entrance won’t let you pass unless you pay 10 EGP, but he won’t give you a ticket. Good for spending some time if you need some shade, as it’s one of the very few parks in the area, but that’s about it.

    History was made here. This garden used to be for free for the people living around. Om Kolthom sang her memory making live songs in this garden. Nowadays, entry to it is charged. This garden contains rare trees that are more than 100 years old.

    This is a wonderful place which dates back to the sixties of the nineteenth century. The Opera square and Azbakeya Garden contained famous hotels, like Shepherded Hotel; theaters like Azbakeya Theatre and many interesting places. The statue of Ibrahim Pachá on his horse is considered as a symbol of the Egyptian Modern Renaissance.

    (Translated by Google) 😔😔 # Ataba_Opera Square 😔 Remains of the ruins of the second most beautiful garden in the world after its complete destruction # Azbakeya Garden Who dreamed of the establishment of Khedive Ismail after he ordered the filling of Birka al-Azbakeya in 1872 AD and commissioned the French engineer Barel Dashan to build it on an area of ​​18 acres and wrapped the garden with iron walls from the outside 😔 Azbakeya Garden is one of the oldest botanical gardens in Egypt. In 1864 AD, the pond, which was in the middle of the square, was filled in, and in its place in 1872 AD, the Azbakeya Park was established by the French engineer “Barrell Deschamps Bek”, on an area of ​​18 acres surrounded by a wall of masonry and iron and doors were opened on all four sides. Khedive Ismail set up two theaters in the southern tip of Azbakeya: the French Comedy Theater, which was established on November 2, 1867 AD and opened on January 4, 1868 AD under the management of Khawaja Mansi, and the Khedivial Opera House. The other, and many official and popular celebrations for foreigners and Egyptians were held in the park. In June 1887 AD, Queen Victoria's Day was celebrated by the English community in Egypt, and the French community celebrated July 14, and the Egyptian celebrations in the garden were the most prominent of which was the celebration of the Royal Seating Day and the celebration of charities. And Masonic lodges, and the military musician was playing in the first celebration, in addition to the establishment of marquees in the celebrations of associations and singers' parties, the most famous of whom are Sheikh Yusuf al-Manyalawi, Abdo al-Hamuli and Muhammad Othman. In the era of the "Nubar Pasha" ministry, the Green Shrine was used as the seat of the mixed court, and then it was turned into the High Court House, which is now known in the area called the Medicaid Square. In the middle of the nineteenth century, a civil hospital was established in Azbakeya Square. In addition, a number of hotels were built in Azbakeya, including Shepherd and Continental, in addition to Windsor and Eden Palace. After the Cairo fire that occurred on January 26, 1952, Azbakeya Square underwent many changes. The airline offices that were located in the Shepherd Hotel, which was completely destroyed in the fire, were transferred to Tahrir Square, and Azbakeya Square itself, with its huge area, was divided into four places that now include The new Central Bank building, a petrol station and a garage of the Republic, and two buildings belonging to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health Insurance, while Al-Azbakeya Park was also divided, and part of it was built by the Opera Central, and it was penetrated by the 26th of July Street, dividing it into two parts. (Original) 😔😔 #العتبة_ميدان_الأوبرا 😔 بقايا أطلال ثانى أجمل حديقة فى العالم بعد التدمير الكامل لها #حديقة_الأزبكية التى حلم بأنشاها الخديوى أسماعيل بعد ما أمر بردم بركة الأزبكية سنة 1872م وكلف المهندس الفرنسى باريل دشان بأنشاها على مساحة 18فدان ولف الحديقة بأسوار حديدية من الخارج 😔 حديقة الأزبكية أحد أعرق الحدائق النباتية في مصر. في عام 1864م تم ردم البركة التي كانت تتوسط الميدان، وأنشئ في نفس مكانها عام 1872م حديقة الأزبكية على يد المهندس الفرنسي "باريل ديشان بك"، على مساحة 18 فدانا أحيطت بسور من البناء والحديد وفتحت بها أبواب من الجهات الأربع. وأقام الخديوي إسماعيل في طرف الأزبكية الجنوبي مسرحين هما المسرح الكوميدي الفرنسي الذي إنشئ في 2 نوفمبر 1867م وافتتح في 4 يناير 1868م تحت إدارة الخواجة منسي، ودار الأوبرا الخديوية، وبعد الانتهاء من تشجير الحديقة وتزيينها وإنارتها عين الخديو مسيو "باريليه" الفرنسي ناظرًا لها ولجميع المتنزهات الأخرى، وكانت تقام بالحديقة العديد من الاحتفالات الرسمية والشعبية الكبري للأجانب والمصريين، ففي يونيو 1887م تم الاحتفال بعيد الملكة فيكتوريا من قبل الجالية الإنجليزية في مصر، واحتفال الجالية الفرنسية بعيد 14 يوليو، أما الاحتفالات المصرية في الحديقة فكان أبرزها الاحتفال بعيد الجلوس السلطاني واحتفال الجمعيات الخيرية والمحافل الماسونية، وكانت الموسيقي العسكرية تعزف في الاحتفال الأول، إلي جانب إقامة السرادقات في احتفالات الجمعيات وحفلات المطربين، وأشهرهم الشيخ يوسف المنيلاوي وعبده الحامولي، ومحمد عثمان. أما في عهد وزارة "نوبار باشا"، فقد تم استخدام قصر العتبة الخضراء كمقر للمحكمة المختلطة، ثم تحول إلى دار القضاء العالي المعروف حاليا في المنطقة التي أطلق عليها ميدان الإسعاف. وفي منتصف القرن التاسع عشر تم إنشاء مستشفى أهلي بميدان الأزبكية، هذا إلى جانب أنه في منطقة الأزبكية كان مشيدا عدد من الفنادق منها "شبرد" و"الكونتيننتال" بالإضافة إلى "وندسور وإيدن بالاس". وبعد حريق القاهرة الذي حدث في 26 يناير عام 1952م، طرأت على ميدان الأزبكية تغيرات كثيرة فقد تم نقل مكاتب شركات الطيران التي كانت موجودة بفندق شبرد الذي تم تدميره تماما في الحريق إلى ميدان التحرير، وتم تقسيم ميدان الأزبكية نفسه بمساحته الهائلة إلى أربعة أماكن تضم حاليا مبنى البنك المركزي الجديد، ومحطة بنزين وجراج الجمهورية ومبنيين تابعين لوزارة الشئون الاجتماعية والتأمين الصحي، أما حديقة الأزبكية فقد قسمت هي الأخرى، وشيد على جزء منها سنترال الأوبرا، واخترقها شارع 26 يوليو فقسمها إلى قسمين .

    Amazing place rich of history. One of the best attractions for me where I like to go back every time I am in Cairo. Great place for photography though. You could also find some antique shops there. Walk from the gate until you reach Khan Al Khalili. You will enjoy the walk and experience.

Minister Badr al-Jamali later called him Bab al-Ezz, however; Residents of Cairo preferred the original name 'Gate of Victory', which is still in use to this day. Perhaps the reason for this adherence is that this gate was the gate for the entry of the victorious Egyptian armies, which is what the Egyptians preferred to use this name, as Egyptian sultans such as Zahir Baybars, al-Mansur Qalawun, al-Ashraf Khalil and al-Nasir Qalawun passed by the prisoners of Egypt's enemies. Minister Badr al-Din al-Jamali moved this section in addition to Bab al-Futuh from their original places next to Zawyat al-Qadi to their current locations. This section is considered one of the most important monuments of a military nature that have remained in Egypt from that period in which the Fatimids ruled Egypt. The gate is distinguished by the decoration on the wings and the fronts of the towers, which symbolizes victory in the efforts of the campaigns to protect the city from invaders. And between the two wings of the gate there is a huge high door surmounted by an opening surrounded by a frieze that extends to surround the gate’s tower, inscribed with inscriptions mentioning the name of the one who built it (Caliph Al-Mustansir and the Emir of the armies Abu al-Najm Badr) and the date of construction. Above this frieze are the hatches for the gates. In the poppy there is a stone ladder that reaches the roof of the gate. This staircase has a design that is considered the first of its kind in the history of this period’s architecture, and this staircase leads to the towers, and it also leads to a group of rooms containing the most important group of stone arches. The leader of the French campaign against Egypt, Napoleon Bonaparte, named these towers from the northern wall after the French officers responsible for their security. These names are still carved near the top of the gates. The popular biography of King Zahir Baybars states that this gate was the gate through which Al-Zahir Baybars entered Cairo for the first time in his life.

  • 2/5 john s. 6 years ago on Google • 15 reviews
    The garden contains some very old trees but is in a rather poor condition and lacks supervision or good maintenance , wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to calm your mind , it also attracts some very shady individuals so it isn't really a safe place for female visitors
