Why Egypt Is Building a New Capital City

The govt uses Sharm el Sheikh for a lot of international conferences and meetings. While it's not convienient as a location for administrative affairs, I think having the NAC try to compete with Sharm for the "global city" aspect it's self-defeating. Keep Sharm for that, and use the NAC solely for administrative stuff. It's a much better known "global brand" than some bland Canberra-alike in the middle of the scrub.
