Defined by Qasr al-Nil, Tal‘at Harb, 26th of July, and Sharif Pasha Streets, Superblock E is full of commercial activity. Whether on the main streets or inside the passageways, retail shops occupy most of the ground floor level. This superblock is home of al-Shawarbi Passageway, one of the most significant commercial spines in Downtown Cairo since the 1970s. The famous Immobilia Building, where many celebrities used to live in the middle of the twentieth century, is located at the superblock’s south-eastern tip.
