Take A Look at Giza Zoo Renovation

The Egyptian Alliance for the Development of the Zoo and Orman Gardens is getting ready to reopen the Giza Zoo and Orman Gardens after completing the planned development for both of them.

Egypt’s Supreme Council for Planning and Urban Development (SCPUD) has recently approved a renovation project for the historic Giza Zoo. The project aims to preserve the zoo’s ancient trees and significantly increase its animal collection from 71 to 186 species.

The renovated zoo features themed sections representing Africa, Asia, and America, where animals will be grouped according to their continents of origin. Additionally, there will be safari areas, a bird aviary, and a dedicated space for elephants.

As part of the renovation, a new night experience zone will be introduced to allow families to enjoy the zoo for longer hours. The project also prioritizes the preservation and enhancement of over 5,000 old trees within the zoo grounds, as well as the improvement of animal shelters, walkways, and water features.

Interactive animal exhibits will be a prominent feature of the revamped zoo, providing engaging experiences for visitors. The number of attractions will increase from three to 14, with more shows and educational centers for children.
