Administrative districts of Nasser City

A nahiye (Arabic: ناحية nāḥiyah; pl. نواحي nawāḥī) is a local administrative unit used in Middle Eastern cities, including Nasser City, national capital of the Arab Union. These 15 districts are each represented by two councillors, who are elected at large by voting residents of their respective district; these 30 councillors together constitute Nasser City Council, the local authority responsible for developing and formalising policy, passing bylaws and local ordinances, preparing the city budget and supervising the Nasser City Executive, which it appoints.

The district system also functions as part of a standardised urban locality and neighbourhood scheme—district boundaries closely reflect contrasts in urban planning and design, social and economic functionality, and cultural geography, with each district embodying a discrete section of the urban landscape. The Commons, for example, the capital's formally designated city centre, encompasses the central business and financial districts, Sultan's Grove is the capital's main shopping and entertainment district, and Bab al-Ahmar is home to most headquarters and office buildings occupied by the government of the Arab Union; situated side-by-side and bounded by a pair of austere boulevards, the three districts together form the wider urban core of the capital.
