A large-scale project to build a new capital city in Cairo, Egypt, has been under construction since 2015. The city, which is yet to be named, lies just east of Cairo and will house Egypt’s main government departments, ministries and foreign embassies. Once finished, it will cover 270 square miles (700 sq. km) and have a population of at least 6.5 million, in hopes of relieving congestion in Cairo.
