CAIRO – 31 March 2025: Cairo's parks are welcoming visitors today on the first day of Eid al-Fitr (the Feast of Breaking the Fast).
The Egyptian capital is home to approximately 300 public parks, all of which have opened their doors to citizens for the three-day holiday after undergoing extensive maintenance throughout Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar when Muslims worldwide fast from the dawn to the sunset, and upgrading their facilities to better accommodate the public.
For instance, the International Park in the Nassr City has witnessed a high turnout. Entertainment programs have been prepared for children, including DJ performances, puppet shows, and a train that tours the park.
Major General Hesham El Gammal, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Specialized Parks Project in Cairo, said that these activities are being implemented across all parks, approximately 300 in total, with the International Park being a highlight.
The miniature zoo at the International Park has also been prepared to welcome children, along with the park's two amusement parks and water parks.
