The Mustadéra or Mustadeira (Arabic: المستديرة al-mustadayrah; lit. "the Rotunda") is a large, domed forum hall on the grounds of Merbad Palace in Nasser City, which serves as the official meeting place of the Council of Ministers of the Arab Union. Its west (main) entrance faces Victory Square, while the east entrance faces the West Pavilion of Merbad Palace, the latter serving as the official workplace of the Prime Minister. The Mustadéra is connected to the West Pavilion via an underground walkway at the basement level, on top of which lay a terraced flower garden.
