The third phase of the Jehan Sadat Highway (also spelled 'Gihan El Sadat Highway') is currently under construction, connecting Taki Square on Al-Firdous Street to Ahmed Lotfi Al-Sayed Street.


The highway is named after the former First Lady of Egypt Jehan Sadat, wife of late President Anwar Sadat, and was established shortly after she passed away in July 2021.


The highway helps connect Cairo's main highways and roads to one another, tying Salah Salem, the Autostrad and the Ring Road to New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital. The highway helps reduce traffic density on existing roads in Heliopolis, Nasr City and 6th of October bridge.
