Nasr City, Residential district in Cairo, Egypt
Nasr City extends across 250 square kilometers east of downtown Cairo, featuring concrete high-rise buildings organized in a grid street pattern.
The district emerged in the 1960s as part of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's initiative to expand Cairo, with architect Sayed Karim designing its modern layout.
The district maintains a mix of international and local establishments, from traditional Egyptian food sellers to global retail chains on Abbas el Akkad Street.
Eight shopping centers, including City Stars Mall, provide retail options while numerous bus routes connect the district to central Cairo.
The Unknown Soldier Memorial stands as a modern interpretation of Egyptian pyramids, commemorating the soldiers from the October War of 1973.
