  This is a wonderful place which dates back to the sixties of the nineteenth century. The Opera square and Azbakeya Garden contained famous hotels, like Shepherded Hotel; theaters like Azbakeya Theatre and many interesting places. The statue of Ibrahim Pachá on his horse is considered as a symbol of the Egyptian Modern Renaissance.

  In the 1850s, the area was renovated during the rule of Ismail Pasha in his plan to build a modern Cairo. Currently the well known Soor Elazbakeya (meaning the fence of Azbakeya) is a used books market that originated by a gathering of used books traders by the fence of the Azbakeya garden.
  
  The Azbakeya gardens theater was the stage to most of the monthly concerts held by the late, most famous and most beloved Arab singer, Umm Kulthum. The Azbakeya gardens is only partially present now as two multi-story car parks have been built on large areas of the gardens.

  History was made here. This garden used to be for free for the people living around. Om Kolthom sang her memory making live songs in this garden. Nowadays, entry to it is charged. This garden contains rare trees that are more than 100 years old.

  The garden contains some very old trees but is in a rather poor condition and lacks supervision or good maintenance , wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to calm your mind , it also attracts some very shady individuals so it isn't really a safe place for female visitors
