- Al-Azhar Park - Al-Azhar Park (Arabic: حديقة الأزهر) is a public park situated in Qism al-Darb al-Ahmar, in Historic Cairo, Egypt.
Among its many accolades, this park is recognized as one of the world’s sixty great public spaces by the Project for Public Spaces. The park was established by the Historic Cities Support Programme of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, part of the Aga Khan Development Network. The park was developed at a cost exceeding USD $30 million, funded by a grant to Cairo from Aga Khan IV, a descendant of the Fatimid Caliphs of Cairo.

The park project, an urbanism initiative, included:
- The development of the park
- Archaeology involving a 12th-century Ayyubid wall
- Historic building rehabilitation (the 14th Century Umm Sultan Shaban Mosque, the 13th century Khayrbek complex, and the Darb Shoughlan School)
- Several quality of life improvement initiatives requiring skills training and area rehabilitation.
- El-Moez Street - Al-Muizz li-Din Allah al-Fatimi Street (Arabic: شارع المعز لدين الله الفاطمي), or al-Muizz Street for short, is a major north-to-south street in the walled city of historic Cairo, Egypt. It is one of Cairo’s oldest streets, dating back to the city’s foundation (excluding the earlier Fustat) by the Fatimid dynasty in the 10th century, under their fourth caliph, Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah (after whom the street is named). Historically, it was the city’s most important artery and was often referred to as the Qasaba (or Qasabah). It served as the main axis of the city’s economic zones where its souqs (markets) were concentrated. The street’s prestige also attracted the construction of many monumental religious and charitable buildings commissioned by Egypt’s rulers and elites, making it a dense repository of historic Islamic architecture in Cairo. This is especially evident in the Bayn al-Qasrayn area, which is lined with some of the most important monuments.
