Egypt, a dynamic country ... "Cairo", which is about to relocate the capital

Pyramid, Temple Abu Simbell, Nile River ... The ancient symbol "Egypt" touched in textbooks.Despite being such a famous country, the reality is not accurately transmitted to the Japanese.Egypt is a focusing country that has been growing rapidly in the African continent in the 2000s.In addition, the world's investors have a hot gaze, ahead of the big project of relocation of the capital.Egypt is trying to make a big leap.Emergency reports of the vibrant Cairo "now".

Safe chaos ... not only as a tourist city, Cairo -Giza's charm

The appearance of Egypt from the plane was more green than expected.A Japanese selfish image, Egypt is a pyramid.The desert around the pyramid, the whole land is the Sahara Desert ... I realize that such a belief was wrong.

Certainly, the pyramids in Giza are adjacent to the city, but in a very vast desert.However, along the Nile is surprisingly green.Giza, a Cairo satellite city, has a population of 3.63 million.It's a very large city because Tokyo is 13 million.

Then, the main subject Cairo is just about 10 million.Indeed, when I come and visit me, I realize that it is ridiculous.The roads in Cairo are extremely crowded and chaotic every day, and there are many people living in old apartments in Cairo, and high -rise apartments are narrowed and outdoor air conditioners.It may be similar to the Indian landscape.

Anyway, even if you walk around the city, the heat is amazing.Thanks to the quite strict Muslims, the security itself doesn't feel bad.You will feel comfortable with the Arab's unique and friendly.Cooking is similar to Turkey.Muse (dip) such as Sora beans, lens beans, eggplant, and Egyptian specialty Moroheiya are delicious.White rice is very similar to Japanese rice and is a food culture that is easy to familiar with Japanese people.

Cairo, the capital, needs to be considered not only in Cairo but also in large Cairo regions such as New Cairo.It's useless to think about 10 million people mentioned above.Approximately 20 million people overflowed in the large Cairo area, exceeding the population of 20020 in 2020 in Egypt.As of 2010, it was 80.44 million, so it was a tremendous rate.

It is expected to reach 150 million in 2050 and rank ninth in the world.Since the spring of the Arab in the 2010s, Egypt has grown rapidly under President Sicie.As you can snuggle up, there is an explosive increase in the population.

Because it is such a overcrowded sightseeing spot, it is difficult to see Giza pyramids.Limited tickets are sold out in the morning.Without a plan, it is not allowed to go near it.The three pyramids are maximum and height 138.5m.It is still said that there are still many mysteries, including the construction method, but when you stand at the foot, it is just a solemnity.The open -air trading and the sightseeing camel are really strong.

Sphinx and pyramid

At Muhammad -Ali Mosque, who returned to Cairo from Giza, he was surprised by its magnificent Islamic architecture, but was most surprising that the large pyramid of Giza, about 20 km, looked quite large from Cairo.Indeed, for Cairo citizens, that's like Mt. Fuji for Japanese.If you go up a high place, you can see the pyramid, such as "Fujimi -cho", which spreads throughout Japan.This may be the real pleasure of Egyptian tourism.

The government's "capital relocation plan" and a new Cairo as an ancient city

This overvunning large Cairo area is not a welcome, not a tourism but a national policy.The traffic congestion on the road is chronic, and the living environment continues to worsen.Before the paralysis of urban functions, President Shisie declared the capital relocation in 2015.

The land prepared for the city plan was about 700 square kilometers.Since the 23 wards of Tokyo is 627 square kilometers, it is a tremendous sense of scale to create a new city of 23 wards.It is about 70km from Cairo.Among the four phases, phases 1 is now progressing, and the administrative district is almost almost completed.

KHALED EL-Husseiny Soliman of Acud (Administrative Capital for Urban Development) has cut out this new city.

"It's very small, but I'm working on the most important phase. In the administrative district, all ministries are consolidated, and the president's building is called Governor Dessert. Residence and downtown phases.Included in 1. 70%of the first phase is now completed, and a new capital will be seen in 3-4 years.

The second phase is 6-7 years later, and we believe that all of the new capital will be completed in 2030.Airport construction for the new capital is also included in the project, but this plan depends on the progress of residence.

The first layout of the first phase is commercial buildings, administrative districts, finance areas, and areas called "artical char".It is a city that attracts modern culture, such as the largest opera house and museum on the African continent.

CBD (Central Business District: Central Business District) 0.The size of 8 square kilometers is lined up with 120-400m tower.The tallest tower is about 400m, it will be a high symbol in the African continent. "

The name is that the iconic tower exceeds The Leonardo in South Africa.After the iconic tower, a 1,001m obellisk tower, which is further exceeding Dubai's Burju Halifa, is planned, like the Empire State Building in New York, which symbolized the economy of the 20th century.The symbol of the smart city towered.

In addition, it is said that a huge park is planned to cut the 23 wards in Tokyo.

"As a sustainable city, a green area is required. Parks are set up in various places, but the largest one is a green river that imitates the Nile River. This park extends 12 km like a river east -west.Up to 1km width in the north and south. The required water is 3,600 cubic meters. "

It is a band -shaped park like Central Park in New York, but its scale is tremendous.In the wilderness of the desert, it is trying to create an overwhelming green area.

"There are about 2 million residents who will first enter this new capital. I think they are wealthy or investors than Egyptian citizens, but houses are distributed to all people, including those who work.There is no point. Therefore, we have not only large areas but also affordable housing. In the end, about 6 million Cairo residents come to the new capital, and the ancient city of Cairo is a larger city.I think it will be "

By optimizing the population, the old town area, such as Han Harry, Cairo, will be brushed up and the lives of Cairo residents will be raised.

About 100 years ago, around 1920, Old Cairo was the most beautiful city in the world.The area around Han Harryli was especially beautiful.There were no traffic congestion as it is now, and people never felt anxious or stressed.

The new large Cairo area, centered on the new capital, must be involved in the center of Northern Africa as a big swell.
