What if the pharaohs were competing for Guinness World Records?

Egyptian authorities are investing in megaprojects to reclaim the nation's historical legacy, with ambitious constructions in Greater Cairo. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's strategy includes the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world's largest museum dedicated to a single civilization, and the New Administrative Capital, featuring record-breaking structures like the tallest flagpole and skyscraper in Africa. Infrastructure projects include the world's widest cable-stayed bridge and a long driverless monorail system. The new military headquarters, the Octagon, surpasses the Pentagon in size, highlighting Egypt's commitment to monumental projects.
