A Real Parent's Story
The best 50 EGP I spent in Cairo
“My twin 4-year-olds spent 2 hours chasing pigeons and rolling down a hill. Zero screens. Zero complaints.”

After a week of museum-hopping, my kids were done. Al-Azhar Park saved our trip. The playgrounds are modern, the grass is green, and there is enough space for kids to just run. For about $2 entry fee, its the best value attraction in Cairo.
