They are the ancient Egyptian monuments that people flock from all over the world to see. So perhaps it is unsurprising that Egyptian architects have taken inspiration from the Pyramids at Giza to create a new skyscraper in the capital Cairo. Plans for a spectacular addition to the city's skyline have been unveiled and the shape will look very familiar - not only is the pyramid building borrowing from Ancient Egypt, at 200 metres (656ft) tall, it will be taller than the Great Pyramid itself and the highest building in the country. Scroll down for video. The Zayed Crystal Spark project will feature not one, but two pyramid shaped features. The smaller pyramid at the front will boast an impressive entrance and walkway, surrounded by cascading waterfalls. The Great Pyramid is thought to have been built around 2550BC and reaches 147 metres (481ft). There are three pyramids at Giza - built as burial chambers for three important kings, Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure - and they are famed as one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. The modern project will be known as the Zayed Crystal Spark, occupying a 798,000-square metre spot in West Cairo’s Sheikh Zayed district. It will be multi-purpose and have potential to be used for administrative, commercial and entertainment ventures. The development would be created by real estate developers and the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA). The Ministry of Housing have announced plans for a spectacular 200 metre high pyramid skyscaper, which will be the tallest building in the country. The shining pillar will be adorned with a glowing capstone and commemorate the nation's prized landmarks. Egypt’s Minister of Housing Moustafa Madbouly omitted revealing the investment cost of the project, but said further plans would be revealed at March's economic summit. It was announced by the Ministry of Housing that 150 real estate developers, in the private sector, have been invited to attend the conference this month. It is hoped the project will attract fresh investment and help to boost the city’s job market, economy and landscape. The complex will cover a 798,000-square metre spot in West Cairo’s Sheikh Zayed district and will be used for administrative, commercial and entertainment ventures. The structure pays homage to Egypt's most iconic wonder, and further plans will be unveiled at economic summit scheduled for this month.

De är de forntida egyptiska monument som människor flockas från hela världen för att se. Så det kanske inte är förvånande att egyptiska arkitekter har hämtat inspiration från Pyramiderna i Giza för att skapa en ny skyskrapa i huvudstaden Kairo. Planer på ett spektakulärt tillskott till stadens skyline har avtäckts och formen kommer att se mycket bekant - inte bara är pyramidbyggnaden lån från det forntida Egypten, på 200 meter (656ft) hög, kommer den att vara högre än själva Stora Pyramiden och den högsta byggnaden i landet. Scrolla ner för video. Zayed Crystal Spark-projektet kommer inte att ha en, utan två pyramidformade funktioner. Den mindre pyramiden framtill kommer att ståta med en imponerande ingång och gångväg, omgiven av kaskadvattenfall. Stora Pyramiden tros ha byggts omkring 2550 f.Kr. och når 147 meter (481ft). Det finns tre pyramider vid Giza - byggda som gravkammare för tre viktiga kungar, Khufu, Khafre och Menkaure - och de är kända som en av de ursprungliga Sju underverken i världen. Det moderna projektet kommer att kallas Zayed Crystal Spark, som har en 798 000 kvadratmeter stor plats i västra Kairos Sheikh Zayed-distrikt. Det kommer att ha flera syften och ha potential att användas för administrativa, kommersiella och underhållningssatsningar. Utvecklingen skulle skapas av fastighetsutvecklare och New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA). Bostadsministeriet har meddelat planer på en spektakulär 200 meter hög pyramid skyscaper, som kommer att vara den högsta byggnaden i landet. Den lysande pelaren ska prydas med en glödande kapsten och högtidlighålla nationens prisade landmärken. Egyptens bostadsminister Moustafa Madbouly utelämnade avslöjandet av investeringskostnaden för projektet, men sade att ytterligare planer skulle avslöjas vid mars ekonomiska toppmöte. Det meddelades av bostadsministeriet att 150 fastighetsutvecklare, inom den privata sektorn, har bjudits in till konferensen denna månad. Förhoppningen är att projektet ska locka till sig nya investeringar och bidra till att stärka stadens arbetsmarknad, ekonomi och landskap. Komplexet kommer att täcka en 798 000 kvadratmeter stor plats i västra Kairos Sheikh Zayed-distrikt och kommer att användas för administrativa, kommersiella och underhållningsprojekt. Strukturen hyllar Egyptens mest ikoniska underverk, och ytterligare planer kommer att presenteras på ekonomiskt toppmöte planerat för denna månad. Skriv höjdpunkter för den här artikeln.

Zayed Crystal Spark kommer att vara längre än den stora pyramiden och vara den högsta i landet. En andra mindre pyramid kommer att visas framför, med en imponerande gångväg entré och påkostade fontäner. Skyskrapan skulle kunna ha ett antal funktioner från administrativa, kommersiella och underhållningssatsningar. Ytterligare planer kommer att avslöjas av bostadsministeriet vid det ekonomiska toppmötet den här månaden.
