Garden City (Egyptian Arabic: Garden Siti pronounced [ˈɡɑɾden ˈsiti]) is a wealthy, residential district in Central Cairo that spans the East side of the Nile and just south of downtown, the location of the famous Midan Tahrir (Tahrir Square). Two main streets, Qasr al-Ayni Street
on the East and Nile Corniche on the west, delineate the eastern and
western borders. Garden City is known for its quiet, upscale, secure
atmosphere and as a major destination for wealthy, Western tourists as
the U.S., British, and Italian Embassies are all located here.
Despite the great political, technological, and industrial changes that
occurred in Egypt, Garden City managed to keep its trendy, European
feel.
