Aquarium Grotto Garden is located in Zamalek and was established by Khedive Ismail in the year 1867. More than 145 years later, Khedawy Ismail decided to establish this aquarium.

It had been a place for kings and princes only. In 1902 it opened for the public for the first time, under supervision of the central administration for zoos.

The park contains 49 aquariums of diverse and rare Nile, marine and starfish fish. At the front of the garden, there is a large basin that contains predatory fish such as sharks. There is also a panoramic display section where it displays some mummified fish.

The building that contains the aquariums has a beautiful design style resembling a cave and sunlight reflects in it through the top openings, which give it a beautiful view and atmosphere. I can wander between caves and passages and enjoy the green areas that contain trees specially brought from Madagascar, Australia and Thailand. The ultimate moment of relaxation for me here is when I bring my favorite beverage, and enjoy some reading or coloring between the green areas there. It’s spot also suitable for relaxation and time for yourself.

حديقة الأسماك فى منطقة الزمالك التى كانت فى الأصل جزيرتين منفصلتين ظهرتا فى وسط النيل فى القرن الخامس عشر الميلادى وقد تم اتصال الجزيرتين فى أواخر القرن الثامن عشر الميلادى حيث تأثر شكل وحجم الجزيرة بالتغيرات التى نتجت عن تحويل مجرى النيل هندسيا من الضفة الغربية إلى الشرقية وكانت تعرف بجزيرة بولاق واهتم الخديو إسماعيل بهذه الجزيرة ضمن مشروعه باريس الشرق فقام بإنشاء كوبرى قصر النيل ليربط الزمالك بالقاهرة وكوبرى الجلاء لربطها بالجيزة وأصبحت فى عهده من الأحياء الراقية ومقرا للصفوة والأجانب

وعندما التقى المسيو الفاند مدير منتزهات باريس طلب منه إنشاء حدائق بالقاهرة على غرار حدائق باريس وتم إنشاء حديقة الأسماك على مساحة ثمانية أفدنة عام 1867 بشارع الجبلاية وأطلق عليها الناس فى البداية اسم حديقة الجبلاية حيث أنها تتخذ الحديقة شكل السمكة بداية من فتحتى الخياشيم عند المدخل وخلفهما يوجد البهو وخلف الزعانف على الجانبين توجد أربعة ممرات وهناك فى الجانب الشرقى للحديقة شكل دائرة وهى من الداخل على شكل ممرات أو تجاويف داخل شعاب مرجانية وعند مرور الهواء داخل هذه الممرات يصنع أصواتا تشبه صوت خرير الماء كل ده موجود على قناتي عروسة البحر هالة محمود المنشور حلو اوى لانه بيبن اد ايه عندنا حاجات جميله

وتضم الحديقة التى تطل واجهتها على النيل 49 حوضا للأسماك مابين النيلية والبحرية والزينة بعضها ما زال يعمل وأخرى للأسماك المحنطة ومناطق تضم أنواعا من السلاحف والزواحف التى تعيش فى المستنقعات والأنهار وتوجد بالحديقة أشجار نادرة فتاريخ إنشائها يعود ها إلى العام 1867 عندما طلب الخديوي إسماعيل من مدير متنزهات باريس إحضار أحد الخبراء لتصميم حديقة تكون على شكل جبلاية حيث تم استخدام مادة الطين الأسواني المجلوب من أسوان بصعيد مصر والرمل الأحمر والمواد الداعمة لإنشاء الحديقة على شكل جبلاية ما جعلها قيمة معمارية حتى ظهرت على هيئة خياشيم الأسماك ولما ظهرت على هذه الصورة تم إعدادها لتكون حديقة للأسماك واتخذ تصميمها ما يشبه السمكة تكون من فتحتين تشبهان فتحتَي الخياشيم وخلفهما منطقة البهو وعلى جانبَي الفتحتين زعنفتان جانبيتان خلفهما ممرات الحديقة

وفي ظل هذا التصميم الفريد يجد الزائر في واجهة الحديقة حوضا كبيرا يحتوي العديد من الأسماك المفترسة ومن الأنواع التي تثير فضول الزائرين ما يطلق عليه سمك الخنزير وسمك القرش ويطلق على الحديقة حديقة الجبلاية نسبة إلى أحواضها التي تأخذ شكل الجبلاية فيما أطلق لاحقا على الشارع الواقعة فيه نفس الاسم الجبلاية وتتميز من الداخل بمغارات وممرات حتى يسهل على الزائرين السير فيها لمشاهدة الصناديق الزجاجية وتحتوي هذه الصناديق على مجموعات متنوعة ونادرة من الأسماك النيلية والبحرية وأسماك الزينة تنعكس عليها أشعة الشمس عبر فتحات علوية

بينما يتم تسليط الأضواء الكهربائية عليها بطريقة فنية في الأوقات المظلمة ما يزيد المشهد جمالا وعلى بعد أمتار قليلة من صناديق الأسماك يجد الزائر نفسه أمام ممرات تفصلها مسطحات خضراء تفضل العائلات الزائرة للحديقة السير فيها والاستمتاع بها وهو ما يجده الأطفال فرصة للعب في أرجائها ويبدي كثير من الزائرين إعجابهم بهذه الأجواء من المرح التي يجدونها في الحديقة غير أنها لم تعد تتمتع بكثافة الزائرين وعلاوة على ذلك فإن كثيرين من المصريين لا يعرفون الحديقة ويؤكد مواطنون من سكان مدينتَي القاهرة والجيزة أنهم لم يسمعوا أصلا عن مثل هذه الحديقة وأنهم فقط لا يعرفون سوى حديقة الحيوان بالجيزة ومن أحدث الأفلام التي صُورت في الحديقة فيلم «جنينة الأسماك»، وماتنسوش اعزائي أن فيلم القلب له احكام بطوله الفنانه فاتن حمامة والفنان احمد رمزي اتصور هناك وتتمتع حديقة الأسماك بكافتيريا مفتوحة على الهواء الطلق يتوسطها جدول صغير من الماء تسبح فيه أسراب من البط والإوز ويهوى الكثير من زوار الحديقة الجلوس فيها والاستمتاع...

Used to be a great park with a beautiful garden but the time and poor management have taken it's toll.

The Aquarium (Fishes) garden was established in 1871 on 10 Feddans of the Khedive's Ismail private property on the western side of the Gezira island.

The grottos were constructed by the well known Italien specialists: De Combaz and Dumilieu. In the early 1900’s, Captain Stanley Flower constructed the Fishes Garden; as he added aquariums in the old grottos of the garden, it became home of a rare collection of African fishes and reptiles. It was one of the only gardens created in the 19th century that was actually designed to be a public park.

The rocky feature of its design and its rounded shape surrounded by Pine, Casuarina and Palm trees are very remarkable. The Fishes garden now 9.5 Feddans; was rehabilitated and reconstructed in 2000; damaged parts were rebuilt while retaining all...

The park itself is beautiful and is a good place to chill and have a bit of quiet fun or maybe to read a book. I specially enjoyed walking around the grotto. (It's probably worth noting that there are bats inside the grotto, however they were centered in one place and stayed really high in the ceiling and they're harmless for the most part.) On the other hand the garden is mostly in disrepair and needed maintenance, the damage was minimal but it was still there, also for an aquarium there was not a single fish in the entire place, all the tanks were empty, there wasn't even water in them, which was really disappointing; it is supposed to be an aquarium after all.
