The Unknown Soldier Memorial in Nasr City, Cairo, is a 36.64-meter hollow pyramid constructed of concrete. Ordered by President Anwar Sadat in 1974, it honors Egyptian and Arab soldiers who fell in the 1973 October War and serves as Sadat's final resting place.

The memorial was designed by Egyptian artist Sami Rafi and features four pillars that are 1.9 meters thick. These pillars are inscribed with 71 symbolic names, while a solid basalt cube sits at the center of the base, representing the soldier's tomb.
