Bab al-Mutasarrif

Bab al-Mutasarrif (Arabic: باب المتصرف bāb al-mutaṣarrif; lit. "the Governor's Gate") is the government precinct of Nasser City, capital city of the Union of Arab Republics. It occupies four of five subdistricts abutting Victory Square, which together form the namesake district of Nasser City (Bab al-Mutasarrif). As the seat of the government of the Arab Union, it is the location of a majority of national institutions, including the Arab Congress, Supreme Court, National Archives, National Museum, Council of Ministers, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Interior, Joint Security Committee, Arsuzi Military Academy, and most other federal ministries and agency offices. The district is also home to the Hafez al-Assad Theatre, Yasser Arafat National Shrine, Sheraton Oasis Hotel, Waqf Hospital, and all but four of the capital's foreign missions.
