I was driven across this bridge during Uber rides whilst in Cairo in Nov 2019. It seemed like a very average bridge without much to make it worthy of a visit. Entirely functional as a bridge, but nothing to see as a tourist attraction.

A bridge that links two areas of Cairo (Tahrir square, and Gezira Island) is a busy thoroughfare most times of the day. having traversed it a number of times on our last Egyptian vacation, I found it an easy way to get from Giza to the Egyptian Museum and then to Zamalek for lunch.

Most people think of the sixth of October bridge from a traffic point of view... There is a hidden treasure that they don’t see... It’s hidden in plain sight as the bridge crosses the Nile. The side walk in that section offers a marvellous walk and view of the Nile, Tahrir square, and Zamalek Island.…
