Egypt will be establishing a district in the New Administrative Capital that would resemble downtown Cairo’s Garden City area, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced on Saturday.
The construction in district R5 is ongoing and will be named “New Garden City”, Madbouly said in a statement.
The New Garden City is located on an area of about 1,000 acres, and scheduled to include 23,000 housing units, varying between apartments and villas in addition to a number of luxury units.
Madbouly explained that the architectural style that will be followed is the old French style, similar to the architecture implemented in Cairo’s Garden City.
He added that all services such as health, education, religious facilities, sports, entertainment and daily commercial activities will be provided in the neighborhoods.
Madbouly pointed out that the neighborhood will also include a residential towers area with about 2,000 housing units and a 5-star hotel.

I really don't like how they've separated these with a big ass wall. Is it even necessary? And if yes, for privacy reasons (I know Egyptians are iffy about this stuff), it could have been much smaller. The way it is now, the wall stands out as a very dominant feature. Would have been classier if it was more proportionate and maybe even made with wood.Not sure if i should post here or in construction updates.
Villas by the ministry from the R5 district, there are some interior photos but they just show normal furniture, i really don't like the design.
