The Swiss newspaper “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” hailed President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s success in transforming Alamein from a deserted city to a global one.
“New Alamein has become a bright dream,” the newspaper said. “It includes high-rise glass towers, clean streets full of palm trees, and luxurious hotels.”
“The city is the fruit of one of major national projects, supervised by the Egyptian government under the leadership of El Sisi,” the newspaper added.
In addition, the German-daily newspaper pointed out to the transfer of Ramses II obelisk to New Alamein city.
The New Alamein City
New Alamein city is one of the new cities the government is constructing to draw investments and boost the economy.
Egypt’s head of state inaugurated the first phase of the New Alamein city in 2018.
The first phase comprised two main parts, totaling 8,000 acres, and housing 400,000 residents.
New Alamein city includes a national university that comprises a number of applied science faculties, an opera house, a library and a museum.
The city is located on an area of 48,000 feddans (one feddan equals 1.038 acres) in El Alamein town on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast and it is designed to include 5,000 housing units to accommodate more than 400,000 inhabitants.
