Facts and practical information

Dreamland is a private urban development located approximately 17 km west of Egypt's capital city, Cairo. It covers an approximate area of 2,000 acres and is situated only a few kilometres west to the Pyramids of Giza as well as being less than five minutes away from Mall of Egypt. It is located in the newly constructed 6 October City which is surrounded mostly by desert and arid plains, linked to the main city by a ring road and the 26 July Freeway. The development provides many recreational and commercial facilities and is home to a variety of shopping complexes, sport and entertainment facilities, business hubs, luxury resorts, prime real estate and theme parks. Dreamland is aimed at a specific demographic and mainly attracts wealthy locals, expatriates and international visitors. The construction of Dreamland began in 1995 and was inspired by contemporary western urbanism and in particular the private developments in the United States of America around the mid-twentieth century. The project was fueled by neo-liberal capitalism and mass consumerism and upon completion, it was estimated to cost more than US$200 million. The development was instigated by the Bahgat Group and masterminded by its chairman, an influential Egyptian entrepreneur, Ahmed Bahgat. ()
