The map
Madīnat as Sādāt, known in English as Sadat City, is one of Egypt's new towns, planned in the late 1970s to draw population and industry away from the crowded Nile Valley. It was named after President Anwar Sadat and built in the desert beside the highway between Cairo and Alexandria, on land that until then was almost empty.
The plan is immediately visible from above. Wide avenues divide the city into numbered districts, each with its own internal network of streets, while large industrial zones form separate blocks of simple rectangular plots. A Madīnat as Sādāt map poster shows a city designed on paper and built according to that plan.
The city is also home to a university and has grown into a significant manufacturing centre. Around it, the desert remains largely open, crossed by roads and the green strips of reclaimed farmland, so the edges of the city are sharply defined rather than blending gradually into the countryside.
The residential areas are divided into planned districts separated by wide avenues, each district containing its own orderly grid of streets and blocks.
Large manufacturing areas sit apart from the housing, drawn on the map as regular rectangular plots served by straight access roads.
The Cairo–Alexandria desert road passes the city, the transport link that determined its location and still connects it to both major cities.

Why Madīnat as Sādāt
Sadat City suits those who studied at its university, worked in its factories or moved there as it grew, and it also appeals to people interested in planned cities. Its geometric districts make a clear, well-ordered print.
