Ḥadīqat al-Andalus, Public park in Zamalek district, Giza, Egypt

El Andalos Park extends over two acres, featuring classical architectural elements, marble pathways, and fountains adorned with lion sculptures throughout its grounds.

Mohamed Bey Zulfikar established the park in 1935 during King Fuad I's reign, dividing it into an Andalusian-style southern section and a Pharaonic-themed northern area.

The park's central pavilion displays a statue of Ahmed Shawqi, Egypt's Prince of Poets, created by sculptor Mahmoud Mokhtar, symbolizing the nation's literary heritage.

The park operates from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, with entry fees of 5 EGP for locals and 10 EGP for foreigners.

Eight marble benches around the park feature ceramic pots inscribed with 'No victor but Allah,' the motto of the Aghlabid dynasty that ruled North Africa and Andalusia.
