This aerial view photograph, taken circa 1930s, showcases the expansive grounds of Giza Zoo in Oula, Giza, Egypt. Located on the outskirts of Cairo, the zoo was once a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The image reveals a vibrant and bustling scene, with winding paths meandering through lush vegetation, creating a serene contrast to the arid desert landscape that surrounds the area. The zoo was established in 1891, making it one of the oldest zoos in Africa, and was initially designed to house animals for the royal menagerie of Khedive Abbas II. Over the years, it grew into a significant zoological park, housing a diverse range of wildlife from around the world, including lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and hippos. The photograph offers a unique perspective of the zoo, revealing its intricate layout and the meticulous planning that went into its design. The large enclosures, visible in the image, were built to mimic the natural habitats of the animals, providing them with a more humane living environment. As one of Egypt's most historic attractions, Giza Zoo played an essential role in the country's cultural and educational landscape. It served as a place of learning and discovery, where visitors could observe and learn about the natural world and the diverse range of wildlife that inhabited it. Today, the zoo continues to be an important part of Egypt's heritage, and efforts are underway to restore and modernize its facilities to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy and learn from the wonders of the natural world.
