Maadi

Maadi or al-Ma'adi (Arabic:المعادى‎ / transliterated: al-Ma‛adi  pronounced [elmæˈʕæːdi]) is an affluent, leafy suburban district south of Cairo, Egypt on the east bank of the Nile about 12 km upriver from downtown Cairo. The Nile at Maadi is parallelled by the Corniche, a waterfront promenade and the main road north into Cairo. There is no bridge across the Nile at Maadi; the nearest one is located at El Mounib along the Ring Road (Tariq al-Da'iri) on the way north to the downtown.
