Egypt is no stranger to monumental projects, but their newest undertaking really puts the capital in New Administrative Capital. The country is building a $59 billion city with engineering feats like sun discs inspired by the ancient sun god. Egypt’s president is determined to finish the megaproject, but resistance to its growing cost is rising.
