6th of October Governorate

It was located in Middle Egypt, to the west of the Nile valley.

It was dissolved on 14 April 2011 and was reincorporated into the Giza Governorate.

It was created through a presidential decree in order to ease the burden placed on Giza, one of Egypt's most densely populated governorates.

[2] The 6th of October City became the capital of the 6th of October Governorate, which was mostly made up of recently established planned communities such as the Sheikh Zayed City.

The area of the 6th of October primarily consists of desert, but contains the left bank of the Nile valley to both the north and south of Giza, and the important oasis town of Bahariya.
