New Administrative Capital, Egypt

A 77-story tower at the heart of the business district in Egypt's New Administrative Capital. At 393.8 meters it has been the tallest building in Africa since it was finished in 2024. Its shape is said to be inspired by the pharaonic was-scepter.

China State Construction Engineering Corporation built it as part of a Chinese-built business district of about 20 towers. It will lose the title of Africa's tallest when Tour F in Abidjan is finished.
