Eagle Hill is planning to invest US$80 billion in the construction of a new city near Cairo, in Egypt, a city that will become the new country’s capital. The new city,

meant for low- and middle-income earners, will comprise an airport, mall, hotels and amenities such as schools and hospitals, as well as providing homes to low- and middle-income buyers.

According to the Egyptian minister of investment Ashraf Salman, the new city will be funded by the private developer and international partners.
