Under the patronage of Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El-Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University, the Education and Student Affairs Sector, in cooperation with the Center of Excellence for Sustainability at Ain Shams University, organized a field visit for civil engineering, architecture, and urban planning students to the Towers Area at the New Administrative Capital, which is being implemented by the Chinese company.

This visit comes within the framework of the educational activities emphasized by the Education and Student Affairs Sector to transfer expertise to students, expose them to the latest developments, and prepare their minds for projects that contribute to achieving various sustainable development goals.

During the visit, students toured the tallest residential tower in Africa, where they listened to explanations from the engineers of the implementing company about the construction procedures to benefit from architectural and structural expertise. They also visited a residential apartment prepared for occupancy on the top floor (43rd floor) of the tower.

The students then explored the landscape areas of the Towers Zone before visiting the Iconic Tower- the tallest tower in Africa- which will comprise residential, administrative, and hotel units. At the 74th floor of the tower, they attended a short lecture on the construction process and viewed the master plan of the New Administrative Capital from above.

The Chinese company executing the towers confirmed its commitment to training young people and noted its regular participation in the university’s employment fair, emphasizing that students are welcome to apply for training opportunities with the company and its projects.
