By Jing Shuiyu | China Daily | Updated: 2018-09-05 07:32

Some 50 kilometers east of Cairo, the capital of Egypt, construction of the Central Business District by China State Construction Engineering Corporation in the African country's new administrative capital is carrying on under the scorching sun.

The new capital is supposed to be one of the solutions to ease the chronic congestion of Cairo, with a demographic burden of more than 20 million inhabitants. Egypt's government institutions are scheduled to move to the new capital in the second half of 2019.

The project will have 20 towers in an area of 1.7 million square meters. Among them, a 385-meter skyscraper is attracting the most attention, as it will become the tallest building in Africa once completed.
