The Obsidier Tower is a new skyscraper that is currently under construction in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt. The tower is being built by the Saudi Arabian company, Al Ahly Sabbour, and is expected to be completed by 2022.
The Obsidier Tower will be the tallest building in Africa, standing at 385 meters tall. The tower will have 75 floors and will be a mixed-use development, featuring luxury apartments, offices, and a hotel. The tower will also have a viewing deck on the top floor, offering panoramic views of the city.
The tower's design is inspired by the ancient Egyptian obelisks, which were tall, narrow, four-sided monuments that were used to commemorate pharaohs and gods. The tower's sleek, modern design features a triangular shape that gradually tapers towards the top, giving it a distinctive, obelisk-like appearance.
The Obsidier Tower is expected to become a landmark in the New Administrative Capital, which is a new city that is being built to alleviate congestion in Cairo. The city is being developed on a 170,000-acre site and is expected to be home to 6.5 million people when it is completed.
