New Administrative Capital

The New Administrative Capital: Egypt’s Future of Modern Luxury Living

A City with Vision

The New Administrative Capital is more than a development; it is Egypt’s leap into the future. Conceived in 2015 as part of the nation’s most ambitious urban plan, the city is designed to redefine how Egyptians live, work, and connect. Spread across 170,000 feddans (about 700 square kilometers), the capital is envisioned as a self-sustaining metropolis that relieves Cairo of its congestion while offering a new model of modern living.

From the moment you enter, the difference is tangible. Wide boulevards, landscaped parks, and futuristic skylines announce a city that blends ambition with elegance. This is not just a place for buildings — it is a place for families, businesses, and communities to thrive together.

Masterplan: Order with Soul

At its core, the New Administrative Capital is about balance. Its masterplan organizes the city into thoughtfully designed districts, each with a clear identity yet harmoniously woven into the larger fabric.

• Governmental District: Hosting Egypt’s ministries and state headquarters, making it the nation’s political epicenter.
• Financial and Business District: Home to the Iconic Tower — Africa’s tallest skyscraper — alongside headquarters of major banks and international firms.
• Diplomatic District: Designed as a global hub, with embassies and consulates surrounded by secure, landscaped zones.
• Cultural and Arts District: Anchored by landmarks such as Al-Masah Capital, the Grand Opera House, and the majestic Masr Mosque.
• Residential Neighborhoods: Over 25 vibrant neighborhoods with more than one million housing units, tailored to every lifestyle — from first homes to palatial villas.

The city’s flow is intentional. Green belts, public squares, and the Green River — a 35-kilometer central park — act as natural lungs, ensuring every district is both connected and breathable.

Location: A Prime Position

The New Administrative Capital was chosen with precision, sitting just far enough from Cairo to offer relief, yet close enough to remain connected. Its location east of Cairo makes it a pivotal link between the capital and the Suez Canal region.

• 60 km → Downtown Cairo
• 65 km → Suez
• 25 km → New Cairo City
• 60 km → Cairo International Airport

This connectivity transforms the NAC into a crossroads. Weekdays mean manageable commutes to Cairo or New Cairo; weekends offer escapes to Ain Sokhna or family gatherings back in the capital. Future infrastructure — high-speed rail and the monorail — ensures this city will remain accessible, practical, and globally connected.

Everyday Lifestyle in the New Capital

What sets the New Capital apart is how it makes daily life seamless. Imagine waking up in a modern apartment, walking your child to a nearby international school, commuting in minutes to a job in the Financial District, and then unwinding in the evening at the Green River Park. Life here flows.

Every neighborhood comes with its own services — schools, clinics, retail promenades, and community clubs — so residents enjoy more time living and less time commuting. Safety is prioritized with gated communities, secure streets, and smart surveillance systems, while sustainability is embedded through solar energy, water recycling, and eco-conscious construction.

Modern Compounds: Homes that Define a Lifestyle

At the heart of the New Administrative Capital are its residential compounds, each a distinct community blending modern architecture with lifestyle-driven design. Developers here have moved beyond the idea of selling homes; they are building holistic environments.

• Apartments: Efficient layouts ranging from 80 m² to 400 m², catering to singles, couples, and families.
• Duplexes & Townhouses: Offering more space and privacy without the leap to standalone villas.
• Standalone Villas: Grand homes with private gardens, pools, and luxury finishes.

Homebuyers can choose between fully finished residences or core-and-shell options to personalize interiors. But the true value lies in the lifestyle: green courtyards for children, fitness and spa facilities for adults, and retail promenades that keep daily conveniences just steps away.

Facilities & Everyday Comfort

Living in the NAC means having every service at your fingertips:

• Education: From nurseries to universities, including international schools with global curricula.
• Healthcare: Modern hospitals, specialized clinics, and wellness centers across districts.
• Shopping & Dining: Mega malls, boutique retail, and fine-dining venues.
• Green River Park: A 35 km stretch of greenery at the city’s core, designed as Cairo’s new central park.
• Cultural Hubs: Al-Masah Capital, Masr Mosque, and theaters that enrich community life.

This level of infrastructure ensures that the NAC isn’t just livable — it’s desirable.

The Lifestyle Promise

Life in the New Administrative Capital feels different because it has been designed to. Instead of chaotic traffic, mornings begin with smooth commutes and wide boulevards. Instead of overcrowded schools, families enjoy modern campuses within walking distance. Instead of limited green spaces, weekends unfold along the Green River’s shaded paths.

Here, ambition and relaxation coexist. Professionals chase careers in the Business District, while families enjoy evenings in safe, green neighborhoods. The city has been built as a place where dreams find room to grow.
