A new "pyramid" - a skyscraper - will grow in Cairo

A new pyramid will rise in Cairo, well, to be precise, a skyscraper that sought its architectural inspiration from the oldest Egyptian architecture, the pyramids. It is the Zayed Crystal Spark urban planning project, which was unveiled by the Minister of Housing Administration. And considering that it is a skyscraper, it will of course be a rather "thinned out" version of the pyramid, which will therefore rise all the more into the sky. It will be as high as 200 meters. For comparison, Cheops measures 138 of them.

In Egypt's capital, Cairo, a new one will grow pyramid-skyscraper, high 200 meters, where, if the plan gets the green light, they will squeeze 49 floors. In fact, we can talk about as many as two pyramids, because in addition to the already mentioned sloka, there will be another one that is a bit more "arranged" and dwarf growth. Pyramid Stan and Olio, that is.

In total, the plan extends to 8.5 million square meters. At the same time, the skyscraper will also be the tallest building in the country, surpassing the second tallest, the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, by more than 50 meters. From the famous pyramids of Giza, it will be around 30 minutes drive, similar to how the new Arc de Triomphe is far from the old Arc de Triomphe in Paris. But unlike these historical buildings, the modern twin will be surrounded by plenty of greenery and water installations.

The skyscraper-pyramid will be a commercial-residential building.
