Iconic Tower

Africa's tallest skyscraper was built in three years in the desert in central Cairo, 45 kilometers east of the Nile. The 385-meter-tall concrete structure of the Iconic Tower was completed in June and the steel structure is due for completion in August. The completed building is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

It will be the centerpiece of 20 CBD towers in the New Administrative Capital, a mega project launched by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in 2015.

“A new era in Egypt", said Ahmed Al Banna, CBD project leader for Dar AlHandasah, design and supervisory consultant.
“The iconic tower itself will become a symbol and trademark of the new capital. It will show the seriousness of the government and the president's will to create a new capital with all conveniences," he said.
