Victory Square (Nasser City)

Victory Square (Arabic: ساحة الانتصار sāḥat al-intiṣār) is a large public space in the Nasser City borough of Bab el-Masdar. Located in the centre of a large roundabout at the intersection of Lebanon Avenue, Arsuzi Avenue and Union Boulevard, the name "Victory Square" is a partial misnomer, as the space is actually circular in shape. It is one of three main squares of central Nasser City, along with Martyrs' Square and Tishreen Square.

Several important federal government institutions and ministry headquarters are located on or near Victory Square, most notably the North and South Parliament Buildings, the respective meeting places of the two chambers of the Arab Congress, as well as the Arab National Museum, the Arab Union Central Bank, the Metropolitan Council Building, the city hall, and the headquarters of the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Finance, as well as the Union Theatre and several corporate headquarters. Union Station, the central railroad and transit hub of Nasser City, has its west entrance directly across Arsuzi Avenue from Victory Square.

Victory Square features the Victory Monolith, a 78-metre-tall monument which honours the Union Defence Forces, the regular armed forces of the Arab Union; the base of the monument contains an engraved list of the names of every service member killed in action since the founding of the Arab Union in 1958. The Victory Monolith sits in the centre of Victory Square, surrounded on all sides by thirteen paved steps and a cobblestone base; the rest of the square contains a grass field with an edge of neatly pruned palms and olive trees, with three wide cobblestone walkways leading to the monument at centre from the inner sidewalk of the roundabout surrounding Victory Square.
