Crossing the Nile in Cairo is a bridge that holds a genuine world record: the Tahya Misr Bridge, recognised by Guinness World Records as the widest cable-stayed bridge on Earth. At a remarkable 67.3 metres across, this vast span carries many lanes of traffic over the river and even features a glass-floored pedestrian walkway offering dizzying views straight down to the Nile. It is the spectacular centrepiece of one of Cairo's most important new road corridors.

A World Record · رقمٌ قياسي عالمي
Recognised by Guinness.معترَفٌ به في غينيس.
The Tahya Misr ("Long Live Egypt") Bridge earned a place in Guinness World Records as the widest cable-stayed bridge in the world, with a deck measuring an extraordinary 67.3 metres across. Cable-stayed bridges hang their deck from cables anchored to tall pylons, and this one carries an exceptional number of traffic lanes side by side. Its record-setting width makes it a source of national pride and an instantly recognisable Cairo landmark.
Over the Nile · فوق النيل
Views down to the river.إطلالاتٌ على النهر.
Spanning the Nile, the bridge is suspended from striking pylons and lit dramatically at night, reflecting in the water below. One of its most thrilling features is a glass-floored pedestrian walkway, where visitors can stand on transparent panels and look straight down to the river far beneath their feet — a popular spot for a memorable photo and a giddy view over one of the world's most famous rivers.
Part of a Bigger Axis · جزءٌ من محورٍ أكبر
The heart of a corridor.قلب ممرٍّ كبير.
The bridge is the centrepiece of the Rod El Farag Axis (also called the Tahya Misr Axis), a major new corridor cutting across Cairo to link the east of the city with the Alexandria Desert Road. As part of Egypt's vast national roads programme, the crossing helps move huge volumes of traffic over the Nile, easing congestion while doubling as a spectacular landmark.
