Headquarters of the Arab League

The Arab League building stands near the Nile River, offering views of the Qasr al-Nil Bridge from its position in downtown Cairo's business district.

The establishment of this headquarters in 1955 followed the departure of British forces, transforming a former military barracks into a center for Arab diplomatic relations.

The building hosts a central meeting hall with a round table where representatives from 22 member states gather to discuss regional matters and policies.

Located near the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and Egyptian Museum, the headquarters maintains direct access to diplomatic services and transportation networks.

The structure encompasses 13,500 square meters of office space designed by architect Mahmoud Riad, incorporating modern elements that represent post-colonial Arab identity.
