Egypt has a unitary system of government. In a unitary system, the central government holds most of the power, and local governments or administrative divisions derive their authority from it.
Governorates (Muhafazat): Egypt is divided into 27 governorates, including major ones like Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, and others. Each governorate is further subdivided into districts.

Markaz (Districts): The governorates are divided into districts, or markaz, which are the second-level administrative divisions. Districts in Egypt, or markaz, are administrative units within governorates responsible for local governance. Each markaz is further subdivided into cities, towns, and villages. They play a vital role in implementing national policies, managing local affairs, and facilitating communication between the central government and the grassroots level.
