Washington, D.C., a showy new capital is rising in Egypt, imperial in scale and style, embodying the grandiose ambitions of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and his mantle as the country’s unchallenged ruler.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The new administrative capital just outside Cairo encompasses Africa’s tallest building, a crystal pyramid and a vast, disc-shaped palace for Mr. el-Sisi inspired by the symbols for an ancient Egyptian sun god. Six years in the making at an estimated cost of $59 billion, it is the grandest in a slew of megaprojects being built by a president determined to reshape Egypt.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Eight-lane highways swoop across the crumbling streets of Cairo, skirting ancient tombs and the pyramids of Giza. Giant bridges, freshly built, span the Nile. A new summer capital gleams on the Mediterranean coast, just outside the city of Alexandria.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The projects, mostly constructed by the country’s <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/01/world/middleeast/egypt-security-military.html" title="">powerful military</a>, make Mr. el-Sisi the latest in a long line of Egyptian leaders, stretching back centuries, who have sought to mirror their authority in imposing structures that rise from the desert.</p></div><aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"></aside></div><div data-testid="Dropzone-2"></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-1"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">But as Egypt limps through <a class="css-yywogo" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/20/world/middleeast/egypt-economy-ukraine-war-pandemic.html" title="">a dire economic downturn</a>, its finances dangerously strained, increasingly loud doubts are emerging about whether the country can afford Mr. el-Sisi’s grandiose dreams. In the past six years alone, the International Monetary Fund has given Egypt three loans totaling about $20 billion, even as American aid kept flowing in. Even so, the country is once again in trouble.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The president is “borrowing money from abroad to build a massive city for the rich,” said Maged Mandour, an Egyptian political analyst. But poor and middle-class Egyptians are paying the price tag for the megaprojects through taxes, lower investment in social services and subsidy cuts, even if the economic rationale for the developments is questionable, he added.</p><div class="css-1336jj"><div class="css-121kum4"><div class="css-171d1bw"></div><div class="css-asuuk5"><noscript><div class="css-7axq9l" data-testid="optimistic-truncator-noscript"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" aria-hidden="true" class="css-1b5b8u1"><path fill="currentColor" fill-rule="evenodd" d="M2.5 12a9.5 9.5 0 1 1 19 0 9.5 9.5 0 0 1-19 0Zm8.5 1.75v-7.5h2v7.5h-2Zm0 2v2h2v-2h-2Z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg><div data-testid="optimistic-truncator-noscript-message" class="css-6yo1no"><p class="css-3kpklk">We are having trouble retrieving the article content.</p><p class="css-3kpklk">Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.</p></div></div></noscript><div class="css-1dv1kvn" id="optimistic-truncator-a11y" tabindex="-1"><hr/><p>Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
