Regions of Egypt

Egypt is divided into 29 governorates. The governorates are further divided into regions. The regions are then subdivided into towns and villages.

Each governorate has a capital, sometimes carrying the same name as the governorate.

In April 2008, Cairo and Giza were subdivided into 4 governorates, namely the governorates of Cairo, Giza, 6 October and Helwan. In 2009, the city of Luxor was declared an independent governorate.

The tables below list the governorates of Egypt in alphabetical order. The Upper governorates are those located south of Cairo, while the Lower governorates are the ones located in the Delta of the Nile north of Cairo.
