Botanical Garden
The Heliopolis Botanical Garden covers 4,000 square meters and follows a traditional rectangular design with a central water basin, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian Pharaonic Gardens. It includes distinct sections such as a medicinal plant garden, a spice and aromatic plant garden, a garden featuring useful plants, and a fruit tree garden. The water basin hosts various swamp and water plants like the Egyptian Indian Lotus and Papyrus. Situated within the six-hectare university campus, the garden also features ornamental shrubs and trees in its surroundings.
Heliopolis Botanical Garden operates a plant seed bank primarily for cultivation and conservation reasons. The garden prioritizes the preservation of various rare and endangered Egyptian plant species such as Balanites aegyptiaca and Glossostemun bruguieri.
