I have been to Cairo, indeed the buildings seemed so old and trashy, you could see trash in the roofs of every building, some buildings seemed ready to collapse but they didn't somehow. It's a good thing they are rebuilding it. Their quality of life will improve too. It's not an easy for Egyptians are they live in one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

For over a thousand years, Cairo has served as the heart of Egypt. Yet, some 40 kilometres to the east, the government is constructing a new capital.

Egypt is building a smart city with a population of 6.5 million in the middle of the desert. Cairo is extremely congested, polluted and overpopulated, making it unfit as the financial and administrative capital of Egypt. To solve this problem, Egypt has started construction on the New Administrative Capital, a megacity located 30 miles east of Cairo in the middle of the desert.
Egypt is best known as the birthplace of civilisation and home to the only surviving ancient wonder of the world, the Pyramids of Giza. But the country’s latest mega project could be the largest yet: relocating its capital 30 miles east of ancient Cairo, at a cost of £35 billion and rising. ITV On Assignment's John Irvine visits the new capital city that promises a utopia: green spaces, mega malls, shiny and sleek housing - everything Cairo is not. But it comes at a price; most Egyptians won’t be able to afford even the cheapest new housing, leading critics to argue that this is a city for the rich. Opponents say Cairo could be left forgotten and abandoned as President El-Sisi moves his entire government to the new capital rising out of the desert.
