Gamal Abdel Nasser University

Gamal Abdel Nasser University (Arabic: جامعة جمال عبد الناصر jāmi‘at jamāl ‘abd an-nāṣir) is a public research university located in the Nasser City borough of Beit Zera. It is funded entirely by the Arab Union federal government, and is considered one of the most prestigious post-secondary institutions in the country. At the start of the 2020–21 school year, Gamal Abdel Nasser University had 233,450 enrolled students, making it the fifth-largest university in the Arab Union. Unlike many post-secondary institutions around the world, which have remained shuttered at the start of the new school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gamal Abdel Nasser University remains fully open, due to the overwhelmingly small number of cases of COVID-19 present within the Arab Union; however, students are encouraged, though not required, to wear masks or face coverings while attending classes.
