Project Summary

The ring is one of many concepts that was developed while planning the new administrative capital. The main concept was to create an iconic tower as a gateway for the new capital to represent the Egyptians capabilities of building the impossible and to reclaim their place as the great architects they were once before. The concept was developed and presented by CUBEconsultants’ team.

the Concept proposal was to reflect the new Era gateway of Egypt by a symbolic  Icon represent the Sunrise (Ra) of ancient Egypt.
In the beginning, the proposed height was 600 m Skyscraper, then have been reduced to 400 m
