Orman Garden

The Orman Garden is a botanical garden in Giza, Egypt. It dates back to 1875 and the reign of Khedive Ismail who established the garden on a larger site than it presently occupies as part of the Palace of the Khedive.

Orman Garden is located west of the River Nile and east of Cairo University in the Giza Governorate. “Orman” is a Turkish word, which means “the forest”. ^[1]
