    Lived watching the sunset over the zamalek island. It is a pretty crowded area so watch out, but still very enjoyable

    Man, I gotta tell you about my bizzare experience back in 1989. Some British blonde guy and a Japanese teen were fighting, but here's the wierd part: they weren't punching. Instead, some weird soul-looking guys were standing in front of them, screaming things like "MUDA MUDA MUDA" or "ORAORAORAORA". Suddenly, the British dude yells "THE WORLD" and everything suddenly stops. I see him move over and kill this redhead, and then everything goes back to normal. I left immediately, but other than that, I had a golden experience.

    When I went here in 1989 I was minding my own business until I saw something rather bizarre. There was a British man with blond hair, and a Young Japanese student fighting on the bridge. Suddenly, I couldn’t move, and after seven seconds the British man flew above the Japanese kid and crushed him with a road roller. Then the Japanese kid teleported behind the British man and broke his legs without touching him. The British man wasn’t taking that kind of disrespect, so he threw blood into the student’s eyes and after 2 seconds the British man just split in half. The adventure I had that was very bizarre.

    Cool experience and live action of those two people on the bridge. One of them appeared with a big yellow thing I couldn’t recognize which made me felt like time has stopped. Overall perfect bridge and nice live acting 👍

    It was a pretty cool place. I saw like 2 guys fighting but I can't see anything. All I saw was a blond guy floating and holding a roadroller. Kinda creepy so i left. (pic below)

    This is such a beautiful bridge. You can tell just by the architecture how much thought was put into its construction. However something truly bizarre happened here back when I visited Cairo in 1989. I swear to god there were these two guys yelling at each other in what I think was Japanese? Anyways the weirdest part was that they were just teleporting around and it looked like they were fighting invisible ghosts or something. Then suddenly one of those construction things, maybe a bulldozer, appeared out of nowhere and then one of the guys just split in half! I gotta say, except for that one time in Italy, that had to be the most bizarre experiences I had while traveling abroad.

    So lemme tell y’all about this bizarre adventure of mine back in 1989. I went to this place and it is hands down the best place I’ve ever visited. The thing I loved most about is the fight that took place between a 17yr old GigaChad named Jotaro and a 100+yr old vampire. They were flying, stopping time(yep! You heard me. Time Stop!) that’s why this bridge is named after their epic battle. Now I guess y’all understood why I called it my the most bizarre adventure. It’s crazy how this makes a JoJo reference, ya know…

    I went here in 1989 and the view of the nile river was beautiful, but there were these two tall dudes fighting and the fight escalated to the point where one guy had superhuman powers and he disappeared. I saw him a few seconds later and falling down onto the man with a road roller. It was straight havoc that day…

    Visited 7 October 2022 Another free site to see in Cairo. Walked to the most famous bridge over the River Nile in Cairo from Tahrir Square as it only a five minute walk. Some great views of the city and the Nile can be seen from either end of the bridge as well as in the middle where you can really see how fast the current of the Nile is. The most famous part of the bridge are the four large bronze lion sculptures which guard each end of the bridge. It is very popular with locals and tourists alike. This bridge, sometimes referred to as Kasr El Nil bridge was opened in 1933 by King Fouad and was originally called the Khedive Ismail Bridge in honour of his father. This was changed after the revolution that brought Nasser to power. Interestingly the company that built this bridge was also constructing the Sydney Harbour Bridge at the same time.

    Really enjoyed doing the construction work on this side in 1989, loved how it turned out. But I still can't explain how one of our road rollers just vanished into thin air and got demolished seconds later.

    Man, I have to tell you about this crazy thing that happened to me in 1989. The strange thing about this battle was that the Japanese teenager and the British blonde guy weren't actually punching each other. Rather, a group of strange, soul-like guys were yelling things like "ORAORAORAORA" and "MUDA MUDA MUDA" in front of them. The British guy exclaims "THE WORLD," and then everything stops. I watch him cross over and take the life out of this redhead before things return to normal. Apart from that, I had an amazing experience, so I departed right away.

    I remember when i was there one time, i saw some guy get punched and he went into a water tower, after i guess he shot the big clock over there and broke the clock, so i followed the fight and 2 guys were fighting. One had a cool hat, the other one had a really tight shirt but were just staring at eachother, one was yelling ora ora ora, the other muda muda muda, then they fly and a bunch of other boring stuff happened, but heres the cool part, they go to this bridge, the guy with thr really tight shirt pulls out a road roller, and then the one with a cool hat somehow dodges it, and then the guy with a tight shirt becomes a corpse. It was really cool

    Beautiful bridge. My uncle went there in 1989 and he said the view from the bridge was absolutely stunning, although he saw 2 guys flying around and one of them even casually threw a road roller at the other. But anyways, 5/5 would recommend visiting this when you're in Egypt.

    King Ismail plans to transform Cairo into a city that competes with the cities of Europe in terms of coordination and cultural beauty. Gezira) in 1869 AD, and it is the first bridge on the Nile in Cairo and the second in Egypt in general after the Banha Bridge in 1856. Its construction took three years, when it was opened in 1872, and its review, review, review, review, review, development of the region and its emergence in a civilized manner. Keeps pace with architectural development, the period in the cities of Europe

    A bridge that don’t just connect two pieces of land but more of connecting the past with the present. An important spot that is a must visit when in Cairo. Just leaning on the side railing just is one of the best things you could do to relax and chill out.

    The view from the top of the bridge is very beautiful, but the bridge needs organization, as there are many street vendors and people who want to take pictures for you for money, and also to cleanliness and order, as well as the Nile from the bottom, which needs extreme cleanliness, because it is full of rubbish on its bank, and it also lacks any outlet To sell drinks and food near it, and I said rubbish bins and lighting were damaged in most of the columns, in addition to the shower of the vehicles, because they used the horn to attract the attention of passengers, plus the loud songs inside it, and from some vendors on the bridge

    It's a beautiful bridge with great architecture. It was good for an evening walk. And nearby we have an Egyptian Museum, Cairo Tower which we can cover.

    The best place to smell the air of the Egyptian Nile River for free. On the side of cruise ships with high quality restaurants and cafes.

    The river looked very lovely from the bridge, there was also some people who rented boats for an hour or two. This place is suitable for families and children. There are lots of things to do.

    I am never going here again. I was driving along the bridge in my car and then I saw some weirdly dressed guys, one looking like a train conductor and the other looking like some yellow garb karate man were duking it out and all of the sudden the yellow shirt guy gets a BLOODY steamroller out of nowhere and throws it at the other dude. I don't know if I was high but that was wild.

    Very well built bridge. Not many bridges can withstand a steamroller being dropped on it while a massive British man elbows it at a lightning pace and a massive Japanese high schooler somehow punching it to push it back. The engineers of this bridge should be amazed by the sheer durability from such bizarre events even more rare than a crusade of Stardust.
