ASSUMPTION:

Region belongs to governorate, if majority of region's area belongs to that governorate.

SOLUTION:

Intersect regions and governorates. Remove all the fields, but governorate and region ids. Calculate area and sort table in descending order by area:

enter image description here

Select non-first records in above table using region id and delete these records.

Join intersect table to regions, using region id field:

And dissolve it using governorate id.

RESULT:

Note some minor editing might be possible for small regions if you don't like the governorate they will end up within

  • Thank you very much@FelixIP, i followed your explain, but unfortunately "Dissolve" did not succeed with me. the result of Dissolve eat all "Governorates" border and keep "Region" geometry only.

  • If your regions have slivers between them, solution will not work.

  • No, governorates it's a subdivision of borders, Unlike the borders of regions, so regions is "Face 1" governorates is "Face 2", see this image green outline is "region" black outline is "governorates" rghost.net/65rQCGkjK/image.png

  • My understanding that you want boundary of something big and inaccurate to match boundaries of small higher resolution bits inside. Make a copy of smalls, start editing. Merge ones you think make a boundary of their bigger container. If you succeed and this is what you want, proceed with my solution because it is automated process. If this is not what you want or merging will fail to represent a boundary of biggie, disregard my solution
