New Cairo, Egypt

Far from the Nile River a new city emerges in the desert. People refer to it as New Cairo. It is devoted for the most affluent Egyptians. Nowadays among global trends, social unrest and massive landscape interventions the metropolis of Cairo is reviving a new conquest of the desert.  However, New Cairo does not meet the demands of the majority, which require a more accessible housing. In the midst of a social revolution the future of New Cairo is uncertain.
