New Cairo is a modern, planned city located just outside Cairo, Egypt's bustling capital. Established in 2000 to ease congestion in the city centre, it spans approximately 1,000 square kilometres. Designed with a focus on residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, New Cairo aims to provide a high quality of life with contemporary infrastructure.
The city is home to upscale neighbourhoods, universities (such as the American University in Cairo), shopping malls, parks, and business districts. It is strategically located near major roads, including the Cairo-Suez Road and the Ring Road, providing easy access to both the capital and other key regions.
New Cairo’s development continues to expand rapidly, making it an attractive destination for both locals and expatriates seeking a modern, suburban lifestyle. It serves as a significant part of Egypt's urban planning efforts to accommodate its growing population while offering a balanced mix of work, leisure, and residential options.
