Sheikh Zayed & 6th October · Sheikh Zayed

Zed Park

A large urban park west of Cairo, with a lake, playgrounds and restaurants.

€€ Mid-range

Cairo is desperately short of green space, and this park is one of the few recent answers: lawns, a lake, walking paths and a food hub. You mostly see Cairo families there, on Fridays and Saturdays.

The extra bit

Friday morning is the quietest time: in the afternoon, families arrive en masse.

Know before you go

Entry is charged, and prices change with the day and any event on.
