Egypt accomplishes 90% of Sakan Misr in New Mansoura

Egypt has accomplished 90 percent of 4,704 units as part of Sakan Misr middle-income housing flagship in New Mansoura City, 128km (79.5 miles) north of Cairo in the Nile Delta.

Egyptian New Urban Communities Authority’s (NUCA) vice-chairman Kamal Bahgat inspected the implementation of the ongoing projects in new Masnoura with New Damietta City Development Authority’s head Mohamed Ragab.

In August 2017, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi issued a decree to establish a new city in Mansoura.

The decree approved the re-allocation of 5,104 feddans or 21.4 million square metres of the state-owned lands to the New Urban Communities Authority to be used in establishing a new urban community, the New Mansoura City.

New Mansoura is expected to have more than 150,000 housing units for around 680,000 citizens. The city is set to include touristic housing, villas, and medium-income and social housing as well as regional university and technological industrial development zones.
