Abdeen Gardens Cairo – Outdoor palace food court
Have you been to Abdeen Palace before, with its magnificent architecture and the huge museum inside it? Well, if you haven't, then you should. And if you have, then you must have seen the gardens in front of it. Well, these gardens have been totally renovated and they have changed 100% with the new food court added and the authentic gates. That way they're kept clean and better organized.
The garden is a square in the middle of the 100-year-old building - more like a time gap. You can travel to different eras just by entering the gates. The garden has 8 different restaurants and cafes with a good variety of food, snacks and drinks. You can even use the greenery for a picnic as most families do, or ride a bike. It's a really good outing for families with kids as it has the perfect spaces for activities, and it's safe as well.
You can spend as much time as you want inside just by paying the 5-pound ticket per person and that's it.
