Status: Development

The Circle is a mixed use community developed in partnership with the Government of Suez, encompassing attractive residential towers, office buildings, hotels, Exhibition Halls, Convention Center, Cinemas, Shopping Mall, Marina and Park. Due to these different elements and in order to facilitate the circulation and also the living together in this development, the whole plot was divided into 3 different zones.

• The first zone is the public zone, which contains the commercial hub with offices, hotels, a free zone and offshore area which is the first of its kind in Egypt, an indoor/outdoor exhibition centre, an opera and convention centre whose landmark designs mark the entry into the Suez Canal, a 10.000 sq.m. sports arena, and expo center and a marina where boat shows can be held in conjunction with the expo.
• The second zone is the residential zone containing apartment buildings, hotels, furnished apartments and a mall, that all overlook the stadium and canal.
• The third central zone is a historical park that will explain the history of the area and of the October Sixth war.

Linking the residential and commercial areas is a 2km retail strip serving as a “walk” on the corniche. At the end of this walk in the residential area is a circular plaza, which will hold all the traditional events and shows of the region. This modern and sustainable project will be a landmark in Egypt as a whole and will attract people to Suez City.
