Despite a year of political turbulence, there are plenty of new developments still on the agenda for Egypt’s capital city, Cairo. One such development, the Mall of Egypt, is set to provide 160,000 sqm of GLA, and most intriguingly, a Ski Dubai-type resort, known as Ski Egypt. The AED2.71bn development is being developed by Majid Al Futtaim, the same company that oversaw Ski Dubai. It is hoped to be the dominant super mall serving the western half of the city, with a strong fashion element, 17-screen cinema, family entertainment centre and over 50 food and beverage outlets. It is set for a 2014 opening, giving the developer just enough time to prepare for the tourist influx.
