Facts and practical information

The Orman Garden is one of the most famous Botanical gardens in Egypt. It is located at Giza, in Cairo. It dates back to 1875 and the reign of Khedive Isma'il Pasha who established the garden on a larger site than it presently occupies as part of the Palace of the Khedive.

It became a public botanical garden in 1910/1917 and put under the Ministry of Agriculture management. ()
