Notes on Egypt
Egypt is constructing a massive New Administrative Capital in the desert, intended to alleviate congestion in Cairo and serve as a symbol of national ambition. The project, largely funded and built by China, features colossal structures like the largest mosque in Africa and a 94,000-seat stadium. Despite its scale, the city's purpose and necessity are subjects of local debate, with some suggesting it's designed to be revolution-proof and others seeing it as a vanity project mirroring ancient pharaonic endeavors.
