Written by: Dr. Hend Hassanein
Under the patronage of Dr. Ahmed El-Menshawy, President of the University, Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Alim, Vice President of the University for Environmental and Community Service Affairs, and Dr. Magdy Alwan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts,
The Open Botanical Garden project team, headed by Dr. Essam Fadl, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Science, visited the Faculty of Arts to continue the project work and to conduct a survey of all plants located at the old university campus of the Faculty of Arts.
The team was welcomed by Dr. Magdy Alwan, Dean of the Faculty, and Dr. Hamed Mashhoor, Vice Dean for Environmental and Community Service Affairs.
It is noteworthy that the project was recently inaugurated to serve as an educational and recreational space on the university campus. Each plant or tree has an informational plate showing its scientific name, common name, flowering time, whether it is evergreen or not, in addition to its importance in various fields. The project was inaugurated in July 2025.
The surface and subsurface karst features of the Eocene limestone plateaus along the Middle Nile Valley in Egypt were formerly believed to be epigene in origin and to have developed during post-Eocene pluvial periods. However, the morphology of the caves and their restriction to particular stratigraphic intervals suggests that they are hypogene. The geochemistry and mineralogy of the soft, thick-bedded, brown/black cave infills shows that these sediments originated from hydrothermal processes, as evidenced by their Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu concentrations. Thus, the karst features are hypogene and probably formed during the opening of the Red Sea Rift at the end of the Oligocene and early Miocene. At this time, there was abundant volcanic activity, as shown by basalt lavas ~70 km northwest of Assiut; this triggered the release of large amounts of CO2 that made the hydrothermal waters acidic and dissolved the caves.
