Garden City, Cairo
Garden City ( ' ) is a wealthy, residential district in Central Cairo that spans the East side of the Nile and just south of downtown, the location of the famous Midan Tahrir (Tahrir Square). Two main streets, Qasr al-Ayni Street on the East and Nile Corniche on the west, delineate the eastern and western borders. Garden City is known for its quiet, upscale, secure atmosphere and as a major destination for wealthy, Western tourists as the U.S., British, and Italian Embassies are all located here.〔Haag, Michael. Egypt. Cairo: American University in Cairo, 2010. Print.〕 Despite the great political, technological, and industrial changes that occurred in Egypt, Garden City managed to keep its trendy, European feel.
==Description==
Garden City, in addition to Zamalek, Maadi, Mohandessin, and Heliopolis, is one of the wealthy, residential districts in Greater Cairo. Garden City is a marked difference in the development of other neighborhoods and districts in Cairo.〔Jayyusi, Salma Khadra., Renata Holod, Attilio Petruccioli, and André Raymond. The City in the Islamic World. Leiden: Brill, 2008. Print.〕 Garden City was planned by private investors as opposed to the natural development of cities characterized by the random and often unexplainable migration of people. Its landscape, street layout, architecture, and general atmosphere can be explained by both the nature of its founders and Khedive Ismail's attempts to Europeanize Cairo. Garden City was a city strictly planned by private investors wishing to escape the period of national construction that took place until 1952.〔 Its quiet, windy, tree-lined streets, beautiful gardens, and elegant, ornamental palaces coupled with the proximity to the American and British embassies make it an attractive place for affluent Cairenes and tourists.〔 Furthermore, the geography and landscape more closely resemble a lofty, European village than a North African one.
Some of the nicest hotels in Cairo like the (Four Seasons ), (Kempinski ), and (Semiramis Intercontinental ) make Garden City a hot spot for rich visitors from the Gulf or from American and Western European travelers looking for a safe area near their embassy.〔Maxwell, Virginia. Egypt. Footscray, Vic.: Lonely Planet, 2006. Print〕 Right outside the (Four Seasons ) is a dock to the Nile, where tourists can take a felucca ride down the Nile or a sunset dinner cruise.〔
