The Double Two Tower is a skyscraper in the new administrative capital of Egypt. Located in East Cairo, the tower stands at an impressive height of 265 meters (869 ft) and features an iconic design that combines traditional and contemporary architecture. It is the second tallest building in Egypt and the first skyscraper in the New Capital.
The Double Two Tower is part of a larger project for the new administrative capital, which was announced in 2015 as a plan to move government offices out of the densely populated Cairo region. The aim is to create an efficient and modern city with modern infrastructure and services. As such, the Double Two Tower is expected to become an iconic landmark in the cityscape of the New Capital.
The tower, which was designed by the international studio of architects Atkins, is composed of two towers of different heights, connected by a large central atrium. This gives the building a distinctive visual identity and provides a space open to the elements that extends between the two towers. Structurally, the building is composed of a reinforced concrete frame wrapped in a glass-clad steel frame.
The interior of the building is also designed to make an impression, with high-end finishes and luxuries. It
