Giza Zoo, Zoological garden in Giza, Egypt

Giza Zoo is a zoological garden on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt, home to thousands of animals from Africa and beyond. The grounds feature water channels, wooden bridges, and bird ponds that create a park-like setting.

Khedive Ismail built the zoo on about 50 feddan of his harem gardens, and it opened on 1 March 1891 under Khedive Tawfiq with 180 birds and 78 other animals from Ismail's private menagerie. In 1938 the southern part of Orman Garden was added, enlarging it from 50 to 80 feddan, with animals brought from the Gezira Palace. Egypt was removed from WAZA membership in 2004.

The zoo's natural history museum opened in 1906 and holds collections of taxidermied animals, birds and reptiles. A separate Japanese Kiosk, built in 1924 for the visit of Japan's crown prince, displays photographs and relics of the zoo's past. The main gate faces Charles de Gaulle Street.

The park opens daily and offers separate admission for Egyptian nationals and international guests. Visiting in the morning is recommended when animals are more active and temperatures remain comfortable.

The suspension bridge, attributed to Gustave Eiffel, may have been the first elevated viewing walkway at any zoo in the world. The paths are paved with black stone flags shipped from Trieste, and the footpaths are set with pebbles arranged as mosaics. A banyan tree planted around 1871 still stands.
