The campus
Al-Azhar University traces its origins to the Al-Azhar Mosque in historic Cairo, but this map is centred on the modern campus in Nasr City, the planned district east of the old city toward the desert. From above, the contrast with medieval Cairo is striking: long straight avenues, large rectangular blocks and wide open plots take the place of narrow, winding lanes.
The mosque was founded under the Fatimids in the 970s, and the teaching there grew into one of the oldest continuously operating centres of learning in the world. In the twentieth century the institution was reorganised as a modern university, and new faculties were built in Nasr City, where the campus fills broad parcels between some of the district's main roads.
An Al-Azhar University map poster captures this newer face of an ancient institution: the regular geometry of Nasr City, the long lines of its avenues and the large footprints of university buildings. It is a map of Cairo few people expect, far from the Nile and the old minarets, yet closely tied to one of the city's oldest names.
The district was laid out as a planned extension of Cairo. Its wide, straight roads and large rectangular blocks give the map a regular, open structure.
University faculties and buildings occupy broad plots. On the poster they appear as generous blocks, separated by internal roads and open ground and clearly larger than the residential blocks around them.
Main roads lead west from Nasr City toward the older city, where the Al-Azhar Mosque stands in the dense medieval quarter that gave the university its name.

Why Al-Azhar University
Al-Azhar draws students from across Egypt and from many other countries, and many of them spent their years of study on the Nasr City campus. A map poster keeps that part of Cairo close, wherever they go afterward.
