Citadel Plaza (Cairo Financial and Touristic Center)

Cairo, Egypt

Citadel Plaza is a 27 acre fully integrated business, commercial, entertainment and touristic complex in the center of Cairo.

Its location is distinctly unique. It overlooks a world heritage site, the Citadel, and is surrounded by the Coptic quarter of Old Cairo and the Islamic Fustat district. Sites International’s focus in developing the landscape architecture design was to blend the project into the adjacent historical context and embellish its location on the Mokattam Hill.

Visual studies of different project approaches and vistas were conducted to smoothly integrate the project with its surroundings. State of the art design was used to establish it as an iconic destination enriched with high quality material finishes, distinctive and aesthetically appropriate plants, and elaborate lighting.
