Egypt Is Building a NEW Capital in the Desert — And the World Is Watching

Far beyond the crowded streets of Cairo, Egypt is building one of the most ambitious megaprojects on Earth — an entirely new capital city rising from the desert. Known as the New Administrative Capital, this futuristic megacity is designed to become the new center of government, business, and technology for Egypt. Built from scratch between Cairo and the Suez region, the city is planned to house up to 7 million people and reshape the future of an entire nation.
