Seen in Cairo: The underrated Zamalek Obelisk at Al-Horreya public Garden.
I do not know much about its ancient history or its true location before it was transferred to its current location in a public garden in the upscale Nile island.
I do not know which Pharaoh it has immortalizing his name all those years but one thing for sure , he did not imagine it would survive thousands of years keeping his name high in a public garden.
Here is how it looks from the Nile.

lovely photos. Somehow, being there 3 times in the Marriott resorts, I still managed to miss this down on the river bank. Debra
