What is "elsahel"

Elsahel is an administrative region forming more than half of Shobra in Cairo, Egypt. Rod Elfarag neighbours the River Nile to the west, Road El Farag and Shobra (administrative region) to the south, Sharabeya to the east and separated by El Ismaeleya water canal from Qalyubia to the north.

Elsahel hosts two of Cairo's largest hospitals: Nasser Institute for Search and Treatment Hospital, and the older Alsahel Teaching Hospital, which is named after the area. Additionally, Elsahel is home to a date market.
