Located between the centre of Cairo and the city’s airport the
design for Cairo Expo City delivers a unique facility for Cairo - state
of the art city for exhibitions and conferences. The project comprises
a major international exhibition and conference centre with business
hotel. A further office tower and a shopping centre are also proposed.

"As
the exhibition spaces require the greatest degree of flexibility, we
wanted to ensure that all the public spaces and formal composition
of Cairo Expo City relate to the surrounding Egyptian landscape.
Along the great rivers of the region, most particularly the Nile, there
is a powerful dynamic - a constant flow between the water and the land
- which extends to incorporate the neighboring buildings and
landscapes. For the Cairo Expo City design, we worked to capture that
seamlessness and fluidity in an urban architectural context." Zaha Hadid
