Emaar Misr redevelops birthplace of Pyramids
ArabianBusiness.com (Rob Corder)
Emaar Misr has unveiled its most ambitious project to date, a $2.1 billion mixed-use development in the Mokattam Mountains to the East of Cairo. Mokattam Mountains - which, at only 200 metres above sea level, are arguably only hills - are the highest point in the Cairo area and offer dramatic views across the city from their grassy plains.The area has significant historical interest. Giant slabs of stone used to build the Great Pyramids of Giza were quarried in the hills, and the area hosts an early Christian monastery and cathedral. That history is about to take a back seat to Emaar's Uptown Cairo development that will include a business park, resorts, shopping malls, schools, spa, sports & leisure facilities, a golf course and several residential villages within a four million square metre complex.The article says nothing about the management of any remaining heritage in the area.
