GEO_EG2003 (V101_EG2003) reports the region of Egypt where the respondent was interviewed. DHS regions in the 2003 Egypt survey are equivalent to grouped governorates.
Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. There are also integrated variables, GEO_EG1988_2014 and GEOALT_EG1988_2014, that provide spatially consistent units over time. Note that Egypt 2003 is an interim survey, and detailed geography is not provided.
A GIS map for GEO_EG2003 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository Boundaries page.
