Standing at a proposed height of 1000 meters, this mega-tall skyscraper symbolizes Egypt's drive for architectural innovation and modernization.

As the AFCON action heats up and diplomatic relations between Egypt and China strengthen, the world eagerly awaits more twists and turns on the field and in international partnerships.
