Egypt's new administrative capital

Egypt is embarking on one of its most ambitious urban development projects yet-the construction of a New Administrative Capital. Located 45 kilometers east of Cairo, the new capital is designed to relieve the overburdened infrastructure of the current capital and establish Egypt as a modern urban hub.

Spanning over 700 square kilometers, the New Administrative Capital will house government ministries, embassies, residential areas, and vast commercial districts. The project is expected to accommodate 6.5 million people once completed, offering modern amenities, green spaces, and high-tech facilities. It will also feature Africa's tallest tower and the largest mosque in the region, reflecting Egypt's aspirations for global prominence.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has called this development a "national project for
the future," aimed at fostering economic growth, creating jobs, and boosting Egypt's status as a leader in regional infrastructure.

Beyond its modern skyline, the New Administrative Capital is expected to generate significant economic opportunities. Real estate developers, construction firms, and technology companies are flocking to the site, capitalizing on the surge in demand for urban development services. The project is expected to contribute over 100 billion Egyptian pounds to the national economy over the next decade.

Despite its promise, critics have raised concerns about affordability and accessibility for ordinary Egyptians. However, the government has stressed that the project is part of a broader plan to boost economic opportunities and improve living standards across the country.

As the construction of the New Administrative Capital progresses, Egypt is on course to redefine its urban landscape and solidify its position as a key player in global development
