Vince Molinari is joined by Tamer Nabil, the Vice Chairman of Nations of Sky, to talk about the ambitious Jirian City Project located just outside Cairo. This mega project is strategically positioned, being only 15 minutes from Sphinx Airport and the Grand Egyptian Museum. It aims at building 30,000 residential units along with various non-residential components such as hospitality, medical, and educational facilities.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the project is its connection to the River Nile. Tamer explains how they are reintroducing the River Nile into the heart of the West Bank, which not only extends the life of this vital water source but also taps into the deep emotional connection Egyptians have with the Nile, a relationship that dates back to the pharaohs.
Jirian City is part of a larger national initiative called the Future of Egypt, which aims at irrigating 2.2 million acres of desert land. The project involves lifting water from the Nile through six lift stations to support agricultural development, showcasing a significant infrastructure effort.
Tamer shares his hopes for the project, emphasizing its potential to create 250,000 job opportunities and provide housing for 30,000 families. Additionally, the inclusion of a special economic zone is designed to attract investors from across the Arab region.
