Information about Aswan Botanical Gardens

Covering 6.8 hectares, the Aswan Botanical Garden is home to thousands of birds and numerous exotic plants imported from many parts of the world, including the Indian Far East and Africa. The Aswan Botanical Garden offers a magnificent and unique escape from the city. A veritable jam of Egyptian treasures, a stroll through the garden will transport you to a dream setting.

The entire island is landscaped with rare and exotic plants planted on the orders of Lord Horatio Kitchener, who donated the island in gratitude for his service as Consul General of the British-controlled Egyptian army. Where is the Aswan Botanical Garden ? It's located on Kitchener Island, west of Elephantine Island. It is one of two Nile islands immediately adjacent to downtown Aswan in Egypt.

Kitchener, who had an intense love of palms and other plants, turned the entire island of Kitchener into an exquisite botanical park. The botanical island of Aswan is divided into 27 squares with intersecting vertical and horizontal paths, giving it the appearance of a chessboard. It's an incredible experience to explore this island and all it has to offer. In 1928, the Ministry of Irrigation transformed the botanical garden to showcase trees from five continents. 

You'll find a wide variety of plantations and trees on the island, some of which occurred naturally on the island before it was converted into a botanical garden, and others imported from different continents. A number of rare palms such as the royal palm, the Sabal palm and the Phonic Pam tree can be found on the island.
