Ezbet El Nakhl is a district in the northern region of Greater Cairo, east of the Nile, in Egypt.
Being divided between two governorates means services like education and health are unreliable.
There are only three public elementary schools in the district and the average number of children per classroom is 60.
In 1980, Jehan Sadat, wife of then president Anwar Sadat, inaugurated the Salam Centre, a multipurpose center with a clinic where twenty volunteer doctors provide care.
A hospital is currently operational, with a training center in order to employ people from the neighborhood and give them new opportunities.
