Partially, but Cairo is also extremely extremely crowded. It's becoming an economic drag like Jakarta and Manila are in Indonesia and Philipines due to primary city syndrome.
Most planned satellite cities in Egypt end up doing decently well like 6th of October, El Sheikh Zayed, New Cairo, El Sadat, 15th of May, Nasr City, Al Obour, Badr, 10th of Ramadan, etc.
By moving the ministries and the capital, it helps reduce congestion and also makes it easier to expand out.
It also spreads infra capital across 6-7 governates instead of just Cairo Governate.
