I'm trained in human ecology and urban ecology I see a lot of interesting things. In the desert shade is as important as water. Most think noon shade matters most but afternoon shade is most important. While it all looks wide open now it will close in when finished. The buildings are staggered so they shade each other creating long shadows on the open areas between them. The artificial lake/ river is being dug deep enough to keep the water cool and reduce evaporation losses. They've thought it though.

Thank you for the support!!

Thanks, for this relatively useful video. I found it while looking for information about New Capital. Heading there after a couple of days and will spend the whole working week there. Taking into account the potential developments that may have taken place over the last year, I have a rough idea now of what to expect.

[@donnamarsh3474]

I was in Egypt last month and passed by this site. Amazing to see it upclose.

[@user-hr9hy9it7q]

Go to Asmarat city next, it’s supposed to be a good location for people being moved from slums to good houses, ask them!

[@hanab.6775]

Yesss!!!

[@danielraouf9662]

Yes that is a good thing.

[@mikek1402]

The architecture is just amazing!!! Keep it up Doug, I'm so jealous of you!

[@doug_barnard]

Thanks mike!

[@ahmedmotv4450]

Great video I hope you enjoy your trip in Egypt and you are always welcome... And Egypt are reshaping to the best version of it 😍🇪🇬

[@nancyhennes]

When you were so mesmerized by the construction and art in the cathedral I realized you never went to the coptic monasteries or churches or even the coptic museum. You should consider going to see the original wall art that's still vivid from 100s of years ago or the places many of the Egyptian saints used to live.

[@Lart-et1og]

Yeah I was curious about that too. Maybe next time Doug will visit them

[@user-ud3yv1hl7k]

right, like the coptic history of egypt is so deep and mesmerising it's normally a hit for non egyptians who want to understand egypt.

[@diaryandnotes5350]

loved this one!!! thank you for going to see it there

thank you so much for making such cool video , by the way the guy in the video is not a bad person he just want you to film only the good looking places because we have had some people to film only bad places and advertize that Egypt is all like that way :)

Just found out your channel and I've literally watched almost every single video in one sitting, it's fun to see how we Egyptians meet foreigners and stuff, Some are very friendly and some are very annoying and just mean in general towards non Egyptians because they feel like foreigners are mocking the place instead of loving/exploring it. I'm really glad to see you explore all sides of Egypt and still have a positive look towards it, as an Egyptian I haven't seen the New Capital before so this was kind of an adventure for me as well seeing you there meeting different people and such, will be amazing if I somehow meet you irl, I live in Maadi, Cairo and the 5th settlement. If I ever see you I'll definitely be saying hi, you're an amazing guy and keep up your videos.

[@doug_barnard]

Wow, I really appreciate that! Thank you so much and welcome aboard 😁

[@cecinestpasachannel5731]

Greetings from Egypt. Love your content, you're doing tourism the right way. By the way, the architecture of the Octagon and the government buildings, including the ones in your video, is ancient Egyptian architecture with some modern motifs; the Octagon in particular is purely ancient Egyptian architecture throughout, we are happy about this here in Egypt because we didn't want some shiny city that has no character; we have thousands of years of ancient Egyptian architecture that is being employed in the new capital, and personally this is why I'm excited about it. Oh, as to the guy that didn't want you to film, well, to explain why is to explain the current politics in the region. So, some of our neighboring countries (mainly the terrorists-supporting Qatar and Turkey) are antagonizing Egypt and absolutely hate the fact that Egypt is advancing, so they constantly distort the image of Egypt and the image of our president in their media/news (such as their "Al-Jazeera"). Contrary to what these Egyptian workers may seem, they are actually sharp as hell, and are aware of what is going on, so that guy became suspicious when he saw you focusing on them instead of the buildings because he was afraid you may be doing this to later distort (which is the word he used) their image, and instead of portraying them as hard working Egyptians, you are going to do what Qatari and Turkish media do and distort their image and say "look how the Egyptian workers are suffering at the new capital of Egypt to build palaces for the dictator (or other such nonsense they say about our wonderful president)". So, the guy was saying: "No, don't film us, focus on the beautiful buildings, don't film us and distort our image". I blame your Egyptian friend though, he should have reassured the guy and told him that you are just a tourist that is interested in the food and culture, he would have calmed down; or he should have at least explained the situation to you. Don't let that put you off, the guy was just being protective/defensive. We Egyptians are being attacked for nothing but wanting to advance our country, and the people here are tired of it. Two years ago I was asked for my ID by a police officer in Cairo because I was taking a picture near a monument, I was annoyed and told him that I didn't do anything wrong to be asked for my ID, so he insisted, and after he took the ID and checked it, he came back and gave it to me, while he was giving me the ID, he smiled at me and said: "by the way, we are here to protect you". So, don't let that put you off either, we are fighting the terrorism that our neighbors are constantly supporting and exporting to us, and believe it or not, years back during the period of political unrest, the terrorists used to sneak around and take pictures of the sites that they would later attack, so there is that. Thankfully, this is over now, but the police and military are just not letting their guard down. Anyway, sorry for the long comment.

[@doug_barnard]

Thanks for the support!! And both my friend and the uber driver Mr. Khaled tried to explain to the guy and calm him down but unfortunately he got pretty aggressive so we just decided to walk away.

[@cecinestpasachannel5731]

@@doug_barnard: Yeah, tbh the guy seemed like he has a temper too, what I'm saying is that there is a reason for what he did. Anyway, your videos are awesome, it's like I was taking a walk in the street with you, please keep making them that way.
