What is the new administrative capital? 

The New Administrative Capital is located between the Cairo-Suez and Cairo-Ain Sokhna roads, 60 km from Cairo and the same distance from Ain Sokhna and Suez.

Regarding the fate of Cairo, the ancient capital, after the seat of government is moved to the new administrative capital, Abdeen said that Cairo has great historical value and cannot be dispensed with. When government employees and ministries are moved to the new capital, all of this will reduce the severity of congestion in Cairo. The number of travelers to it to conduct their daily business will decrease.

Thus Cairo will be a good outlet for its residents, and the new capital will be another outlet for Cairo, adding that the government buildings whose employees will be transferred to the new capital will be owned by the new sovereign fund established by the government, and they can be sold or used in other projects that achieve development for Egyptians and achieve another added value for Cairo.

The new capital has become the model that the government is currently following in building 14 smart and million-person cities such as New Alamein, New Mansoura, New Beni Suef, New Assiut and New Minya. This means that all services in these cities will be technological and built according to modern principles, based on providing a clean environment free of pollution and providing all services to citizens.

It means that all services in these cities will be technological and built according to modern principles, based on providing a clean environment free of pollution and providing all services to citizens, and accommodating population increases and can accommodate millions of residents, pointing out that the new capital works based on technology and the Egyptian citizen residing in any Egyptian governorate can access the websites located within the ministries and communicate with the responsible employee in the ministry concerned in the new capital and talk to him by voice and image to complete the transaction.

There is a large building in the government district in the new capital called the Citizen Service Center, which specializes in transactions that require the citizen to be present in person, adding that services and transactions will be provided electronically in the coming years, and citizens will not need to travel and move around, thus reducing the burden on them and avoiding hardship, and providing them with fast and advanced services.
