The map
About this El Shorouk map poster
El Shorouk is one of the new urban communities built in the desert east of Cairo, along the road towards Suez. Unlike the old city, it was planned from the start, and the map shows it: a sequence of numbered districts separated by broad avenues, each with its own pattern of curving streets, closes and villa plots.
The city was designed to relieve pressure on central Cairo, and it has grown into a residential area favoured by families looking for space. It is also home to the British University in Egypt, whose campus is one of the larger single sites on the map, and to a number of schools and private compounds.
An El Shorouk map poster shows planning at its most legible. The avenues form a clear framework, the neighbourhoods fill it with loops and cul-de-sacs, and the edge of the desert is never far away. In line work the result looks almost like a designed pattern, which in a sense it is.

Curving residential streets
Within the districts, streets loop and branch into closes around villas and apartment blocks, giving the poster a soft, organic texture.
University campus
The British University in Egypt occupies a large site within the city, visible as an open block of buildings and grounds amid the housing.
