It's an Egyptian tradition to move the capital every 500 years or so

wish the best for Egyptians, love from Iran

Egypt’s new capital project reminds me of Brazil’s Brasilia megaproject and Nigeria’s Abuja masterplan. If done right, it has the potential to be a great success, but it could also be a catastrophic failure. Only time will tell.

So they're giving up on the town and starting again down the road?


I'm pretty sure this was a Simpsons episode...

Hope all the best to this beautiful country from Greece ❤️

2:29 "The Capital Termianl" - if this is a typical example of the level of attention to detail by the architecture firm, then the project is going to be a bumpy ride, lol.

As much as it looks pretty they really need to make MOST of its houses affordable. 100 000 is not enough for the people of Egypt.

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse, rough, irritating and it gets everywhere.

Thank you for supporting us.. I'll always love my country Egypt❤

[FuturistRoy]

I sometimes wonder where the world gets all the resources to build such cities on this scale.

[t.a.gtahaalgzzar]

Egypt is the land of civilization. The first to create giant projects. Egyptians are great.

[m.h.]

All the good luck for the Egyptian people... Good people and warm hearted..

[mikedobbelaere]

So instead of fixing the issue they just decide to try again elsewhere? And the new one doens't have a metro either? How backwards.

Love and respect from Greece! I can't wait to visit that place!
