Al-Azhar Park is truly stunning. In a polluted and overcrowded city where it has been said that per capita park space was about the size of a human footprint, this is an amazing gift, and who better to do it than the descendent of Fatimid Caliphs Al-Hakim and Mustansirbillah? The city of Cairo is now beginning to market itself as a Fatimid treasure trove of buildings, mosques and madrassas in order to attract tourists. The Ibn Tulun Mosque is delightful and the mosque of Al-Hakim is frequented by Shia women. But of course, the jewel is the park. Go see it to believe it.
