Garden City, Administrative quarter in central Cairo, Egypt
The district features curving streets lined with trees and European-influenced architecture, situated between Qasr al-Ayni Street and the Nile Corniche.
The area transformed from swampland into royal grounds during Mohammed Ali's 19th-century reign, leading to the construction of palaces like Kasr al-Dubara.
The neighborhood contains numerous diplomatic missions, including the embassies of the United States, Britain, and Italy, making it a center of international relations.
Garden City connects to central Cairo through Sadat Metro Station at Tahrir Square, with taxis and buses serving Qasr al-Ayni Street as main transportation routes.
The Vatican maintains ownership of 12 plots from the original 273 parcels established during the district's 1905 development by architect Jose Lamba.
