El-Saf (Arabic: الصف) is one of the districts (markazes) of the Giza Governorate in Egypt.
Etymology
The name "El-Saf" is said to derive from the shrine of Sheikh Ali El-Safi located in the city of El-Saf. Another interpretation suggests the name refers to the alignment ("صف") of all buildings in one single row.
Establishment
The El-Saf city council was established following Local Administration Law No. 124 of 1960, using a temporary building within El-Saf Industrial School. A dedicated city council building was constructed in 1964.
Due to the large area of El-Saf (which originally included Atfih), Prime Ministerial Decree No. 76 of 1988 split El-Saf into two separate markazes:[1]
- El-Saf
- Atfih

El-Saf is located to the east of the Nile River, along the El-Saf / Al-Kureimat road (Route 21). It is bordered to the north by Al-Tebbin District, to the south by Atfih Markaz, to the east by the Eastern Desert, and to the west by the Nile River.
