The Thabet-Thabet Building, so named after its original owner, is a skyscraper situated along the banks of the river Nile in the Cairo suburb of Garden City, Egypt.[2] Naoum Shebib was the architect, structural engineer and contractor for this 31 story building, completed in 1958.[2][3]

The building is also popularly known to locals as the Belmont Building, as it once hosted a large advertisement for Belmont cigarettes on its rooftop[1][4]
