But of course this is the wise good government ; unfortunately we can’t consider Dr. Nazif Cabinet a wise good government , it is the opposite of that wise good government because in these hard times I found out that Nazif gave his orders to start the re-planning the Ataba square again in Cairo !!!!!
He gave his orders to minister of culture to start the re-construction of the Old Khedivial Opera House in its original location in the Ataba square aka Medan El-Opera “The Opera Square” using the old blue prints we still have !!
As much as I love the Khedivial Opera House, which was the first opera house in Middle East and as much as I want it to be reconstructed again yet I believe now it is a luxury to spend all those millions on re-constructing the Royal Opera especially there are villages in Egypt with no access to water or electricity !!
Do I need to speak about our health care system or our highways !!?? or even better shall I speak about the people who are living in tin houses in the shanty towns !!!!
When we have a proper health system , when all our villages have access to electricity and clean water and all the people who are currently living in shanty towns are moved to real houses ; we can speak about the reconstruction of the Khedivial Opera house !!
Seriously I always wish that the government reconstructs the Khedivial Opera house again especially that we are lucky enough that we have all the blue prints of that majestic building, I always hate this opera house in Zamalak , I do not like that modern style with my all respect to the Japanese whom by the way did not consider it an opera house but rather a cultural center. Yet it is not its time now for God sake !!
BY the way how are the construction works in Hosni and Hawas grand Egyptian museum ??
Here are some few photos for the old opera, Nazif is even much more worse than Ismail Pasha.
Here is the location of the old opera house in the Ataba square Now

ReplyDeleteHow was the khedivial opera house burned? Was it burned accidently on purpose?
I dont like the idea not only bec of the recession but also bec it wont be the same even if they have blueprint for the old one. i think this money should be directed to something more useful.
I park daily in the garage which was built instead of it? where will I park then? :(
@Samer , sorry my late reply , nobody knows exactly up till now how it was burned or why.
ReplyDeleteFor sure it won't be the same , my dear let them speak as they want , I highly doubt that they will complete the project yet I believe you should search for parking alternatives there.
By the way if they want to restore the whole square as they announced they should make underground parking
