Royal City Sheikh Zayed is a planned city in Egypt located in the 6th of October Governorate. It is the first of its kind in Egypt, and is the largest planned city in the Middle East. The city is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the late president of the United Arab Emirates.

The project was first announced in 2008 and is being developed by the Egyptian Government in partnership with the United Arab Emirates. The city is located on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road, about 45 kilometers from Cairo. Its total area is estimated to be around 8,000 acres, with a total population of up to 1.5 million people.

The city is divided into several sectors, including residential, commercial, and industrial. It is also home to several universities, schools, and hospitals. The city has been designed to include green spaces, parks, and recreational areas.

The project is expected to be completed by 2020. The city is expected to be a major economic hub in Egypt and the region, and will provide thousands of jobs to the local population. It is also hoped that Royal City Sheikh Zayed will become a major tourist destination in the near future.
