The Cairo Ring Road is the most important freeway of the Greater Cairo metropolitan area in Egypt. The ring road encircles large parts of the cities of Cairo and Giza including Cairo International Airport.

It had two purposes: stopping the urbanization of arable lands, and reducing Cairo's traffic.

In the early 2000s, planning for the Second Greater Cairo Ring Road commenced, enclosing the larger metropolitan area including Al Shorouk City, New Cairo and Helwan in Cairo Governorate, Obour City in Qalyubia Governorate and 6th of October City in Giza Governorate, with some 200km of the eastern and southern part of the Second Ring Road being finished.
