Cityscape
Eyadhan is divided into five main quarters, each consisting of various smaller districts. The Old City and Central Eyadhan form the two main quarters at the center of the city; Merek-Kabesh borders the Old City on the east, while Tayumiv and Gashir surround Central Eyadhan to the north and west.
Old City
The Old City is the historic core of Eyadhan, housing most of the major civic and cultural buildings as well as the national government and its related institutions. Most of the buildings in the district were built in the 18th and early 19th centuries, but a substantial portion, particularly in the center of the quarter, are much older, dating back as far as the 1400s. The area has become significantly more expensive in the last fifty years as more affluent Eyadhanan increasingly move to the Old City from the suburbs. As a result, many nieghborhoods have become known for high-end businesses, particularly restaurants and hotels. The quarter as a whole, however, remains fairly mixed socio-economically. The Old City is also the most popular area among tourists visiting the city, particularly along the waterfront.
