Egypt’s new administrative capital, currently under construction, is set to house mega projects, some of them are the biggest in the Middle East.
Among those is the Arts and Culture City, home to the New Opera House which is set to be the ever largest in the region.
The recent inspection visit paid by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to the location shed the light on this giant project.

According to Egypt Vision 2030 Facebook page, the opera house will be inaugurated in conjunction with the transfer of the headquarters of ministries and the parliament to the new capital.
Worth noting that the page had recently published photos of the opera house at the new administrative capital, noting that the arts and culture city are currently constructed on an area of 100 feddans, to include the Opera House and three theaters with a capacity of 2,500 people each.
Meanwhile the Presidential Spokesperson Bassam Rady explained that the city will include as well libraries, museums and exhibition halls.
The new administrative city will be a 270-square-mile hub with 21 residential districts to accommodate five million people. It features mosques and churches, including lately opened 'El Fattah El Aleem' mosque which fits and the 'Cathedral of the Nativity'. According to Reuters, the Cathedral, adorned with Coptic icons, can accommodate more than 8,000 worshippers while the El Fattah El Aleem Mosque can hold nearly double the number.
the city will feature a 5,000-seat conference center, nearly 2,000 schools and colleges, over 600 medical facilities and a park that is projected to be the world’s largest.
The new Egyptian capital, announced in March 2015, is intended partly to reduce crowding in Cairo but will also be home to government ministries and an airport. The government is expecting to begin moving to the new premises later this year, while some projects were already opened.
