OVERVIEW

New Burg El Arab City is one of the new
cities whose establishment is mandated in the national plan of the Arab Republic of Egypt for the establishment of new urban communities, with the aim of absorbing the current and future rise in population in the city of Alexandria and of putting an end to the use of agricultural land for building. The city is surrounded on all sides by a green belt with a surface area of 18,000 feddans.

As a residential-industrial city with a full range of utilities and services, New Burg El Arab is regarded as a major urban center. President Hosni Mubarak performed the formal inauguration of the city in November 1988.
