The Commons (Arabic: المشاعات al-mashāʿāt) is a nahiya (district) of Nasser City, encompassing the capital's central business and financial districts. It is the location of such landmarks as the Capital Bourse Building, National Vault, Metropolitan Convention Centre, Arabesq Shopping Centre, Adunis Theatre and Sheraton Eden Hotel, as well as the head offices of several major multinational corporations, including Aramco, Arabian Airlines Group, Almayadeen Aerospace, Etisalat, Motefajratel Horriyé and Sinocrot. Both Jordan Valley Station and New West Station, Nasser City's main central railway stations, have their main entrance within the district. It is also the seat of local government, home to the Civic Centre and Metropolitan Services Building, headquarters of the Capital District Council and Capital Metropolitan Authority, respectively. The Commons is centred on Fedayeen Square, the north end of the half-mile Khan al-Mayadeen pedestrian mall.
