Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub
Infrastructure 30 Apr 2025
Egypt is attempting something extraordinary: building a new Nile Delta in the desert using canals, tunnels and vast water treatment infrastructure to turn wastewater into productive farmland.
But while new fields are already appearing, the project is racing against dwindling water supplies and the long shadow of Egypt’s past megaproject failures.
The new center officially opened to the public on June 19. Photographer Nick Ulivieri captured a series of images of the site as it approached its completion.
Construction works have already begun on the site in Qiddiya City, with The New York Times reporting that the venue could host the first ever ATP Masters 1000 event in 2028.
Published by Penguin Random House, Mega Builds by Fred Mills is now one of the bestselling non-fiction books in the UK.
