Abbassia, Urban district in Cairo, Egypt
This residential district encompasses five administrative subdivisions within the al-Wayli area of northeastern Cairo, featuring numerous educational institutions and medical facilities.
The district takes its name from Abbas Helmy Pasha and was constructed upon a former Coptic settlement known as p-Sovt em-p-Hoi during earlier periods.
Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral stands as a central religious structure in Abbassia, serving as the principal church for the Coptic Christian population.
The Abbassia metro station connects residents to Cairo's transportation network through Line 3, providing access to multiple city areas and neighboring districts.
In 1865, Khedive Isma'il Pasha established an observatory in Abbassia that conducted meteorological research until its transfer to another location in 1904.
