This study aimed to compare the design and landscape of Egyptian and Saudi gardens to provide information about similarities and differences, and evaluate them for improvement. Two representative gardens were investigated in each country. The Egyptian gardens were Al-Kawsar and Garaman at Sohag Governorate, and the Saudi ones were Al-Escan and King Khalid at Qassim region. All characteristics related to the landscape design and landscape gardening were measured to achieve this study. The results showed many similarities and differences among the Egyptian and Saudi gardens. Both regions had gardens of geometric or natural design but the natural one was incomplete or mixed. All gardens were isolated by mostly artificial fences surrounded by trees or hedges with one principal entry. The routes were artificial, similar in width, regular or irregular, with borders in most cases. However, the Egyptian gardens had different areas, lower routes percentage and hedges on both sides of routes. They also included more divisions, buildings, services and entertainment places compared to Saudi gardens. The sitting places were limited by seats in some locations of the Egyptian gardens versus free sitting on grass in Saudi gardens. The surface irrigation was the system followed in the Egyptian gardens compared to spray irrigation system in the Saudi gardens. Plant distribution was similar in both countries where plants were cultivated around fences or routes with few irregularly cultivated plants as samples on green areas. The formation of plants were applied in all gardens whatever their deign style. There were no flowering beds in most studied gardens but number of flowering plants distributed at random around the routes. However, the Egyptian gardens had lower green areas and higher density and variability in cultivated plants compared to the Saudi gardens. Therefore, the increment of divisions, services and entertainment places, and the enrichment of the density and variability of cultivated plants seemed to be essential in Saudi gardens. The increment of green areas and the application of more economic irrigation system is highly needed in the Egyptian gardens. The improvement of the natural design, to meet the standard criteria, and the cultivation of flowering plants are also recommended in both studied regions. The study provided information about the design and landscape of gardens in two important counties, which may be useful for further improvements.
