About the deck
The Iconic Tower observation deck is reported to occupy floors 74-76 of the Iconic Tower in Egypt's New Administrative Capital, at approximately 360 metres. The Iconic Tower is Africa's tallest building at 385m architectural top. The building is the centrepiece of the New Administrative Capital, a government-planned city under construction approximately 45km east of Cairo.
The observation deck's operational status and public access arrangements had not been confirmed from official sources as of data collection. The view from 360m across the New Administrative Capital and toward Cairo in the west would be the highest public vantage point in Africa if the deck is open..
The honest take
If operational, the Iconic Tower observation deck would be the highest publicly accessible point in Africa at 360m. The qualification is the key word: deck status was not confirmed at data collection. Verify before travelling to New Administrative Capital specifically for this - the city is a long and expensive journey from Cairo without guaranteed access.
