New Cairo, Egypt's ambitious urban development project, continues to take shape as the future administrative capital of the country. Located 45 kilometers east of the current city of Cairo, this new metropolis is designed to host government offices, ministries, and foreign embassies. With completion expected in the coming years, New Cairo stands as a clear example of the positive impact of governmental and institutional travel on destinations, driving the construction of modern and sustainable infrastructure.
This megaproject will not only enhance Egypt's capacity to welcome international delegations but also create thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the construction and service sectors. Moreover, by relieving congestion in Cairo, this new city promises to improve quality of life and offer economic development opportunities. As such, New Cairo is poised to become a key destination for the future of international relations in the region.
Egypt's new administrative capital, known as New Cairo, is expected to be fully completed by 2030, although some parts of the city, such as the financial district and certain ministries, could be operational earlier.
