| Ramses Park Ramses Park becomes the green heart of Cairo. A sustainable city needs green. Located at the base of the Nile delta, Cairo has good soil for building parks. Important buidings around the current Ramses square keep their position in or around Ramses Park. This includes the railway station, the Everest hotel, the Lymoun tram station, the railway engineering building and the Al Fateh mosque. A part of the fly-over remains in place and takes on a new function. Centrally located in the park next to the existing road, we will build a 70 meter high panorama tower. The ensemble of buildings and functions has a harmonious look and feel. The development of Ramses Park is the stepping stone for the developments of the surrounding area. On the West side of the park the business district expands with the new Ramses Roundabout building as a starting point. On the other side of the park it focusses on combined functions and apartment areas. From the panorama tower tourists and locals get a stunning view over the city, with ancient, historical and modern architecture surrounding the park. In the background they see the pyramids. An everlasting impression. Imagine the new green Ramses Park with it’s modern railway station, the electrical mertrobus lines, the elevated Bridge road and the panoramatower from where the Pyramids are visible.
