Located northeast of Cairo, El Oubour is one of the new cities that were built to spread out the residential density of Greater Cairo. El Oubour is well planned integrated city that contains both industrial and residential areas. It is well known to be calm with many gardens and green areas, and a number of social clubs. It is close from Obour market, the main market in Cairo. El Oubour City offers a wide range of residential levels, but the majority tends to be middle level housing. One of El Oubour’s drawbacks is the distance from the center of Cairo, and the lack of services when compared with New Cairo. Transportation to reach the city is available; however, transportation within the city itself is a bit limited.
