In a bold step that fuses technological progress with Egypt’s ancient grandeur, Orange Egypt has revealed plans to construct the nation’s first telecommunications tower inspired by a Pharaonic obelisk. The project comes as part of the preparations for the highly anticipated opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) on November 1st, marking a new era of innovation rooted in cultural pride.
A Symbol of Ancient Power Meets Modern Connectivity
Designed to mirror the elegance and symbolism of Egypt’s timeless obelisks, the new tower not only stands as an architectural tribute to the country’s pharaonic heritage but also serves a highly practical purpose. It will strengthen mobile network coverage and deliver advanced communication services in and around the museum area, ensuring visitors enjoy seamless digital experiences as they explore one of the world’s largest archaeological and cultural institutions.

Supporting Egypt’s Smart Tourism Vision
The initiative perfectly aligns with Egypt’s national strategy to transform the Grand Egyptian Museum into a world-class smart destination, blending history, technology, and culture. By integrating cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure into a design that honors ancient Egyptian artistry, the project underscores Egypt’s drive toward digital transformation in tourism and sustainable development.
Orange Egypt’s Commitment to National Identity and Progress
Orange Egypt emphasized that the obelisk tower reflects its dedication to advancing Egypt’s cultural and tourism sectors while promoting the nation’s digital future. Through this symbolic and functional project, the company seeks to celebrate national identity, support cultural innovation, and connect the past with the present—positioning Egypt at the crossroads of heritage and modernity.
