Royal City Sheikh Zayed is a new city in Egypt, located in the Giza Governorate, about 30 kilometers from the center of Cairo. The city was established in 2018 and is an ambitious project of the Egyptian government to create a modern and sustainable city with a population of 500,000.
The city was named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates, in recognition of his contribution to the development of the UAE. The city is planned to be a major hub for commerce, culture, and education, and it is expected to become a major tourist destination.
The city will be built on an area of 8,000 acres and will include residential areas, shopping centers, parks, hospitals, schools, and universities. The city will also feature a modern transportation system, including a metro, a light rail, and a tram system. In addition, the city will have a financial district, a business center, and a technology park.
The city is being developed by the Egyptian government in partnership with a number of international companies, including the UAE’s Emaar Properties and the Saudi Arabia’s Al Rajhi Group. The total cost of the project is estimated at $45 billion.
The city is expected to create jobs for more than 200,000 people, and it is hoped that it will help to diversify Egypt’s economy and attract foreign investment. The city is also expected to help reduce the country’s population density in Cairo, which is currently among the highest in the world.
