Egypt’s New Capital to be for ‘All Classes’ Not Just Rich – Minister

Egypt’s planned new administrative capital will not only be for rich people, but also for all social classes starting from low income citizens to tycoons, housing minister Mostafa Madbouli said.

The new capital is set to include low, medium, above-average, and high-housing classes.

Madbouli revealed, in an interview with Al Ashera Masa’an (10.00 pm) show on Dream 2 TV Channel presented by Wael al Ebrashy, that the new capital would contain a massive exhibition and conference centre to enable Egypt to compete for organizing international events.

Moreover, the Egyptian minister noted that the presidential palace, People’s Assembly (the country’s lower house), as well as all the headquarters of ministries, governmental administrations, and embassies would locate at the center of the new capital.
