#Egypt targeting to move all govt ministries from #Cairo to as-yet-unnamed "#NewAdministrativeCapital" (#NAC) this month. Parliament and president apparently not planning to move yet.

It's also unclear what exactly it means for a govt ministry to have "already moved" to NAC - some reporting suggests HQs have officially moved but most work is still happing at old sites.
