Giza Zoo, Zoological garden in Giza, Egypt
The Giza Zoo extends across 80 acres of land on the west bank of the Nile River, featuring water streams, wooden bridges, and bird lakes.
The facility opened in 1891 with imported plants and flowers not native to Egypt, later expanding into the first zoological garden in Africa.
The zoological museum, constructed in 1906, contains preserved specimens of rare animals, birds, and reptiles from the Egyptian and African regions.
The zoo welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with separate entrance fees for Egyptian nationals and international visitors.
The grounds maintain 6,000 animals of 1,755 species, including crocodiles, elephants, lions, monkeys, and numerous African wildlife specimens.
