El-Mahkama Square, Misr El-Gadidah most elegant
square
An exotic example of the Egyptian modern life spirit blended with the
European culture style is the perfect way to describe Misr El-Gadidah district
in Cairo. As you walk in its street, you will be amazed by its elegant social
atmosphere and its unique cultural features.
While wandering in Misr El-Gadidah district, you will find El-Mahkama
Square one of its most famous squares. It is located between El-Hegaz Street
and Abu Bakr El-Sadiq Street and bounded by three Squares which are Misr
El-Gadidah, Tagnid and Safir. It was called El-Mahkama because of the existence
of Misr El-Gadidah Court near the square.
El-Mahkama Square Restoration
In August 2016, Cairo Governorate had inaugurated El-Mahkama Square
after finishing its renovation as a part of the Governorate's project to
develop the capital's historic squares. The renovation included the removal of
Misr El-Gadidah tramway and the expansion of the streets to avoid the current traffic
congestion. It also included paving the streets and renewing the light poles,
traffic lights and road signs.
