Parliament Buildings (Cairo)

The Parliament Buildings (Arabic: بنيات برلمان banayāt barlamān) are a pair of neoclassical forums in central Cairo, Egyptian Arab Republic, constructed in 2006–09. Since November 2009, they have served as the meeting place of the Arab Congress, the federal bicameral legislature of the Arab Union; the Council of Republics meets in the North Parliament Building, while the Council of Deputies meets in the South Parliament Building. Plenary sessions of both chambers are held in a separate venue, namely the nearby Republican Hall.
