Region
The region or "markaz" consists of a capital city, other cities if they exist, and villages. Today, there are 166 "markazes". The Prime Minister of Egypt appoints the chiefs of markazes.
City
Each governorate contains at least one city.
District
The district is the smallest local unit in urban communities. However, districts differ from one governorate to another in terms of size, population and political and economic circumstances. In addition to this, districts used to be further divided into subdistrict neighborhoods called "sheyakha", which were considered of a better size for efficient delivery of certain services, e.g., vaccination campaigns.
Village
The village is the smallest local unit in rural communities. However, villages differ from each other in terms of the legal status. The chiefs of villages are appointed by the respective governors.
