The Egyptian government is preparing to establish a large Nile park on Al-Waraq Island, as part of its efforts to increase green spaces and provide new recreational areas for citizens. The project is being developed by a specialized consultant who is currently preparing the project's plans. The park will be built on a plot of land in the new urban community on Al-Waraq Island.

The consultant and officials from advisory offices met with Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouli to review proposed designs for the park. The proposed designs include open green areas, covered seating areas, and pedestrian paths with views of the Nile River, as well as bike paths. The park will also feature areas designated for restaurants and cafes.

In addition to green spaces and recreational areas, the park will include a marina for boats, parking areas for cars, and a variety of activities and services for visitors. The project aims to provide a comprehensive recreational experience for citizens, while also promoting environmental sustainability and improving the visual landscape.

According to Engineer Randa El-Manshawey, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, the consultant is working on preparing the park's plans in parallel with similar projects in several new cities. This effort supports the state's goal of increasing green spaces and providing recreational areas for citizens.

The park's design focuses on utilizing tree planting and site coordination elements in a studied manner, enhancing the environmental value and improving the visual scene. The design also takes into account the need to provide public areas that allow citizens to benefit from the park's location and its view of the Nile River.

The proposed designs take into account Cairo's climate, water consumption efficiency, ease of maintenance, and the continuity of the plant cover, ensuring the project's sustainability in the long term. The project is expected to have a positive impact on the environment and the community.
