}}6th of October ({{lang-arz|السادس من أكتوبر}} {{transl|ar|El Sādis Min Uktōber}}; colloquially known as {{lang|arz|ستة أكتوبر}} {{transl|arz|Seta Uktober}}) is a city in Giza Governorate, a satellite town and part of the urban area of Cairo, Egypt, 32 km (20 miles) outside the city.[2] It has a population ranging between some 185,000 in the city to an estimated 500,000 inhabitants in the wider area.[3]

6th of October was the capital of the now defunct 6th of October Governorate. A new city in the desert,[4] it hosts Egyptian students and students from various countries, such as the Persian Gulf, Jordan, Nigeria, Cameroon, Syria, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories, who study at its private universities.

History

The settlement was established in 1979 by the 504th presidential decree of Egyptian president Anwar El Sadat. It is {{cvt|17|km|0}} from the great pyramids of Giza and {{cvt|32|km|0}} from downtown Cairo. The city has a total area of {{cvt|119200|acre|km2|order=flip}} and, eventually, is expected to have 6 million inhabitants, although there are many unoccupied or incomplete buildings.[5]

It was announced as the capital of the 6th of October Governorate in April 2008. Following the governorate's dissolution in April 2011, in the wake of the Egyptian revolution, it was reincorporated into the Giza Governorate, to which it had originally belonged.

The city's name commemorates the commencement of the October War on the 6 October 1973, the same date chosen as Egypt's Armed Forces Day.

Climate

Köppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies its climate as hot desert (BWh). Its climate is very similar to Giza and Cairo, owing to its proximity to them
