EGYPT-CAIRO-CHINA-CBD-CONSTRUCTION
(231228) -- CAIRO, Dec. 28, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Xu Xiaoxiao (R), a project manager of China Construction Shenzhen Decoration company, works with Egyptian curtain wall engineer Ahmed Elsayed Mohamed to measure the aluminium component for installing the curtain wall at the Central Business District (CBD) of Egypt's new administrative capital, 45 kilometers east of Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 27, 2023. In the vast and scorching desert in North Africa, Chinese and Egyptian workers are working against the clock to dress up a cluster of newly erected high-rises in glass walls made in China.
The new capital is not only a key project of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative but also the largest project constructed by Chinese companies in Egypt.
After four years of construction, the modern city is finally taking shape, with a cluster of glass buildings shining like a mirage amidst the arid landscape.
Located near the Sahara Desert, Egypt's climate is predominantly hot and dry, and the highest temperature can reach 50 degree
