A bronze statue of Ahmad Al-Farghani (Alfraganus, 805–870 AD), the renowned Arab astronomer and mathematician, depicted holding a navigational astrolabe and a map, mounted on a granite pyramid-shaped pedestal. The inscription on the base reads 'Ahmad Al-Farghani 805–870' in both English and Arabic. Al-Farghani was a key figure in Islamic Golden Age astronomy, known for his influential work on the motions of the celestial spheres and for calibrating the Nilometer (Miqyas Al-Nil) on Rhoda Island (Gezira Al-Rawda) in Cairo. The statue is set within a well-maintained garden with green lawns and mature trees, with a white heritage building visible in the background.
