The Oblisco Capitale is a conceptual megatall skyscraper in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt. It was announced in 2018 as a part of Egypt Vision 2030, aiming to become the world's tallest structure at a height of 1000 m.[1][2]

The Oblisco Capitale project is designed by the Egyptian architectural design firm IDIA, which is based in Giza, Egypt.[3] It is designed in the form of a Pharaonic obelisk surrounded by a water channel resembling the Nile River. As proposed, Oblisco Capitale is planned to have 210 floors, which includes residences, hotel apartments and units of various sizes.[4] The proposal also includes several hotels, shopping malls, cinemas, housing, recreational centers, commercial centers, and medical centers.[5]
