Egypt's New Administrative Capital

Egypt is building a smart city with a population of 6.5 million in the middle of the desert. Cairo is extremely congested, polluted and overpopulated, making it unfit as the financial and administrative capital of Egypt. To solve this problem, Egypt has started construction on the New Administrative Capital, a megacity located 30 miles east of Cairo in the middle of the desert.

EDIT: At 1:54, I mention that the cities around Cairo are largely empty. This was a mistake! My apologies! These city's populations are growing rapidly.
