New Qena

Northern Africa

New Qena is a planned city in Qena Governorate, Egypt. It was established by Presidential Decree 197/2000 as part of the New Urban Communities Authority new cities programme, as a Third Generation city. The planned cost of the city is 3 billion Egyptian pounds and it is intended to house 130,000 people. Its total area is 24,200 acres, but the urban area covers only about 7,000 acres and lies in the north-west of the city. Of 6,068 housing units planned, 5,078 had been built by February 2023, and a hospital with eight floors and 175 beds was under construction at that date.
