  An impressive botanical garden with a great diversity and many rare plants. The Zohriya (in Arabic= Vase or flower vessel) garden was established in the southern side of the Gezira island with a total area of 49 Feddans in order to supply the Khedivial palaces and nurseries with sufficient plants and flowers. Delchevalerie (1870) established in this garden the first station for acclimatization of plants and where special attention was paid for propagation of tropical fruits such as the bread tree, the sapodilla plum and the mango. The last station was created in 1876, and was divided into 4 main sections (fruit trees, vegetables, ornamentals and experimental stations). The plants that constituted these 4 sections were furthermore grouped under 60 sub-classes. A large number of foliage plants such as palms, cycads, Aralia and Dracaena that were introduced from India, America and Australia were also grown in suitable accommodations. In 1917 this garden was affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture to be a station for acclimatization and propagation of plants as well as a place for horticultural exhibitions.
