Magic Land, Fornøyelsespark i guvernementet Giza, Egypt
Magic Land er en fornøyelsespark i 6th of October City i guvernementet Giza, vest for Kairo. Parken har karuseller og show med levende dyr, hovedsakelig for familier og barn.
Magic Land originally operated before a dispute between its operator, Fun City Company, and the owners of the Media Production City led to its closure. A court ruling in 2013 in favor of the media city then triggered plans to revive the park.
Magic Land sits within the Media Production City, a working complex where television shows and films are made. This setting gives the park an unusual backdrop that sets it apart from other family entertainment spaces in Egypt.
The park is located in 6th of October City, west of Cairo, making it a manageable day trip from the city center. It is worth checking show times and opening hours before going, as these can change depending on the season.
Animal rights groups have raised concerns about the dolphin and seal shows that the park was known for, pointing to the conditions in which the animals were kept. These debates drew attention to a wider discussion about animal performances in Egypt's entertainment industry.
