Giza

Source identity and administrative path

The source row behind Giza is GeoNames ID 360995. Its recorded administrative path is Giza → Egypt, and GeoNames classifies the place as a first-order administrative seat.

Giza occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2024-04-01; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

Population position inside fixed cohorts

Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Giza ranks 75 by recorded population. Inside the 12 selected Egypt entries it ranks 3; inside the 243 entries in its broad region it ranks 15.

Its 4,367,343 population value is 6.61 times the 660,747 median for the country cohort and 4.84 times the 902,588 regional median. Giza falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Egypt population cohort.

Giza's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Nearest-reference pattern

Giza's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Cairo at 7.114 km with 9,606,916 recorded people; Shobra Elkhema at 13.48 km with 1,240,289 recorded people; Al Khuşūş at 18.957 km with 488,904 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 11.843 km. Compared with Cairo, Giza's recorded population is 0.45 times as large. Against Giza, Cairo follows Cairo → Egypt in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Egypt cohort, uses the shared Africa/Cairo identifier, and carries capital of a political entity rather than first-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is above Giza's. Against Giza, Shobra Elkhema follows Qalyubia → Egypt in the source. Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Egypt cohort, uses the shared Africa/Cairo identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Giza's. Against Giza, Al Khuşūş follows Qalyubia → Egypt in the source.

Its point has higher latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Egypt cohort, uses the shared Africa/Cairo identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than first-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Giza's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 109 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Giza's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist.

Read as one record signature, GeoNames 360995, the coordinate pair 30.0094 / 31.2086, country rank 3 of 12, and neighbor GeoNames 360630 at 7.114 km bind Giza to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.

Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts

Giza's reference point is 30.0094° north and 31.2086° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Cairo is shared by 12 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA is shared by 429 rows. Giza's row carries a first-order administrative label but no second-order label.

Giza's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Giza's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Giza, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain.

Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
