New Alamein

Northern Africa

New Alamein is a new fourth generation city in northwestern Egypt, inaugurated by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on 1 March 2018. It lies on the Mediterranean Sea, approximately 48 kilometres west-northwest of El Alamein International Airport. Still under construction, it was conceived by the Egyptian government as a center for tourism, education and government, and it has its own presidential palace and ministry building. Construction is ongoing for three universities, fifteen skyscrapers and high rise towers and 10,000 hotel rooms, and work has begun on Phase II of the megaproject, which includes ten additional coastal towers.
