Smart Village Egypt, Technology business district in Giza Governorate, Egypt.
Smart Village is a technology park in Giza Governorate that stretches across hundreds of hectares along the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, bringing together office buildings, retail spaces, factories, and landscaped grounds. The complex provides modern office facilities, conference centers, fitness areas, educational institutions, and multiple food establishments serving tens of thousands of workers.
The Egyptian government founded Smart Village through Presidential Decree 355 in 2000, with operations beginning in 2001. This establishment was part of a broader push to attract technology investments and develop the nation's digital economy.
The site hosts the Hawass Saqqara Training Centre, run by Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which supports archaeological research and education in Egyptian heritage. This facility demonstrates how tech zones can preserve and share local knowledge traditions with visitors and students.
Visitors should know that the site is very large and best explored by car or organized transport. Multiple entrances and distinct zones exist, so planning ahead about which areas to visit makes the experience more enjoyable.
The site was designed with a striking ratio of 85 percent green spaces to 15 percent built structures. This balance creates a calm working environment rarely seen in modern business parks.
