The comprehensive new city plan announced this time covers different levels of residential buildings, commercial centers, office buildings, high-end hotels, as well as a complete set of supporting facilities such as schools, hospitals, and public green spaces. In the future, it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people living and working here. The project will be developed in multiple rolling phases.

On the one hand, Egypt has a large population and enormous market potential; On the other hand, economic cooperation between Gulf countries and Egypt is constantly deepening. This $30 billion project is the core benchmark for Qatar's Diyal's layout in Egypt, and also reflects the confidence of international capital in the long-term development of the Egyptian market.

With the official announcement of the overall plan, the project has shifted from early preparation to substantive progress.
