The main objective of this study is to analyze and test the patterns and determinants of inter-governorate migration flows in Egypt by direction of move. Four directional moves of internal migration have been distinguished and employed in the study. Data analysis shows that the highest migration occurs between urban areas followed by rural to urban areas, whereas the lowest occurs between rural areas of different governorates. The empirical results indicate that distance is one of the most important variables in explaining the spatial distribution of migrants in Egypt. Distance elasticity differs from one directional move to another.
