Egypt is divided, for the purpose of public administration, according to a three-layer hierarchy and some districts are further subdivided, creating an occasional fourth layer.
The top-level of the hierarchy are 27 governorates (singular: محافظةmuḥāfẓa, plural: محافظاتmuḥāfẓat). The second-level, beneath and within governorates, are marakiz (singular: مركزmarkaz, plural: مراكزmarakiz) or aqsam (singular: قسمqism, plural: أقسامaqsam). The third-level is composed of districts (singular: حيḥay, plural: أحياءaḥya') and villages (singular: قريةqarya, plural: قرىqura). There is a governing structure at each of these levels.[1][2] Districts may be further divided into sub-districts as a fourth level.
There are also seven economic regions used for planning purposes, defined by the General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP).
