The Orman Garden is a botanical garden in Giza, Egypt. It dates back to 1875 to the reign of Khedive Ismail who established the garden on a larger site than presently occupied as part of the palace of the Khedive. Orman Garden is located in Giza governorate, west of the River Nile and east of Cairo University. “Orman” is a Turkish word, which means “the forest”. [1]
