Luna Park, Cairo

The Cairo Luna Park was a trolley park〔Mona L. Russell, ''Creating the New Egyptian Woman: Consumerism, Education, and National Identity, 1863-1922'' (Macmillan 2004) ISBN 1-4039-6262-6〕 in Heliopolis, Egypt. Open from 1911 to the beginning of 1915, the Cairo Luna Park was the first Western-style amusement park in Africa and the first in the Middle East.〔Yasser Elsheshtawy, ''Planning Middle Eastern Cities: An Urban Kaleidoscope in an Urbanizing World'' (Routledge 2004) ISBN 0-415-30400-8〕 On 19 January 1915, buildings and grounds were converted into an auxiliary hospital at Luna Park for World War I;〔Peter Rees, ''Other Anzacs: Nurses at War 1914-1918'' (Allen & Unwin 2009) ISBN 1-74175-549-2〕 the hospital was closed on 10 July 1916.〔(Casualty Clearance (2) ) - ANZAC Day Commemoration Committee (Queensland) Incorporated, 2005〕

Heliopolis, designed to be an "oasis" of Cairo,〔In fact, the original name of the development translated to "Oasis of Helipolis" - Agnieszka Dobrowolska, ''Heliopolis: Rebirth of the City of the Sun'' (American University in Cairo Press 2006) ISBN 977-416-008-8〕 was built in the first decade of the 20th century. After a 1907 stock market crash, the city's developers contracted with the Egyptian government to build housing for government workers; in addition, entertainment venues for the new arrivals were also planned, turning Heliopolis into Egypt's first entertainment zone. In addition to a hippodrome, polo field, cricket field, aerodrome, golf course, restaurants, and a new tram from Cairo,〔Report from Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Company, as cited in ''Daily Consular and Trade Reports'', 1 April 1912 (United State Department of Commerce and Labor 1912)〕 a new amusement park - Luna Park, the first amusement park in Africa and the first in the Middle East - was built around 1910.〔 Opened to the public for the first time on 16 June 1911, Luna Park offered mechanical rides (including a switchback roller coaster), a midway, a skating rink, and restaurants.〔Magda Baraka, ''The Egyptian Upper Class Between Revolutions, 1919-1952'' (Garnet & Ithaca Press 1998) ISBN 0-86372-230-X〕〔"Serjeant-Major, R.A.M.C.", ''With the R.A.M.C. in Egypt'' (Cassell 1918)〕〔Martin Shaw Briggs, ''Through Egypt in War-Time'' (T.F. Unwin 1918)〕
