Egypt’s New Desert Cities: Why New Cairo & The New Capital Feel Nothing Like Cairo

New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital feel like a completely different world than the busy, historic Cairo that people imagine. These cities, built in the middle of the desert, were designed to help relieve some of Cairo's overpopulation and congestion. Here is my honest experience through New Cairo & NAC, exploring the real estate boom, the architecture, the master-planned neighborhoods, the malls, and the lifestyle that they're meant to embody. I also dive into why these areas feel and look so different from Cairo... why it was built, who it's built for, and why it left me feeling curious in so many ways.
