El Warraq

Al Warraq (Arabic: الوراق) is a municipal district of the Giza city in Egypt, consisting of both mainland and Warraq Island in the River Nile.

The district is located on the site of an ancient city Kerkasoros (Ancient Greek: Κερκασωρος, Latin: Cercasorum), which hosted the observatory Eudoxus of Cnidus worked at. In 2023 it had a population of 800,000.

This new district includes the areas of Waraq al-Arab, Waraq al-Hadar, and Warraq Island. Al-Warraq is located on the Corniche of the Nile River, bordered by the Ring Road and the Warraq Bridge to the west, the Nile River to the north, the Coast Bridge to the east, and the district of Imbaba to the south.

The construction of the Ring Road brought significant urban development to Al-Warraq, connecting it to the agricultural road, the desert road, the Mehwar (Axis), and the neighborhoods of Heliopolis, Al-Haram, and Maadi. Al-Warraq has two entrances to the Ring Road: one via the Corniche from Warraq Bridge and another from Al-Qawmeya Al-Arabiya. There is also an access point from the Coast Bridge. Al-Warraq is located relatively close to Tahrir Square and Ramses Square.

The district is served by four main bus stations: Waraq al-Arab, Waraq al-Hadar, Al-Qawmeya Al-Arabiya, and Geziret Mohamed. These stations support more than twenty bus lines that connect Al-Warraq with various neighborhoods such as Giza, Al-Haram, Tahrir, Attaba, Nasr City, Abbassia, Al-Duweiqa, Imam Al-Laithi, Sayeda Aisha, Amr ibn al-As Mosque, and Al-Darrasa.
