Masalla Heritage Garden in Zamalek Reopens After Restoration
The restoration includes the planting of over 1,600 trees native to Egypt, the preservation of rare plant species, and the renovation of walkways and public seating areas.
The Ministry of Local Development inaugurated the restored Masalla Heritage Garden in Zamalek, following a comprehensive redevelopment project aimed at preserving the site’s cultural and environmental value.
Delivered with Cairo Governorate, the National Organisation for Urban Harmony and Tahya Misr, the restoration includes the planting of over 1,600 trees native to Egypt, the preservation of rare plant species, and the renovation of walkways and public seating areas. New lighting systems and accessible pathways have also been added to improve visitor experience while maintaining the garden’s original architectural character.
According to the ministry, the redevelopment covers an area of approximately 12,000 square metres, transforming the garden into an open-air heritage site that reflects the layered history of Zamalek. The project aims to integrate environmental awareness with heritage preservation, ensuring the garden serves as a recreational and educational space for residents and visitors alike.
Officials emphasised that the revitalisation of the Masalla Heritage Garden contributes to ongoing urban renewal projects across Cairo, designed to protect its historic green spaces and make them more accessible to the public.
