El-Sakakini
El-Sakakini (Arabic: السكاكيني; also spelled El-Sakkakini) is a small district (quarter) in Cairo, Egypt that neighbours the El Zaher and Abbaseya districts.
Sakakini was originally part of El Zaher, but it was named after a wealthy, famous, family of Syrian origin, whose patriarch (head of the family), Count Gabriel Habib Sakakini Pasha (1841–1923) had built a palace and a church in the area in 1897. In addition, Sakakini Pasha, is known to have established the Roman Catholic Patriarchate in Faggala and the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Old Cairo.
