About
The Rod El Farag Axis Bridge or simply Tahya Misr Bridge (Egyptian) is a cable-stayed bridge over the Nile river located in the region of Rod El Farag crossing through Cairo, Egypt. It was built by the Arab Contractors. With a width of 67.3 meters, the bridge holds the Guinness World Record for the world's widest cable-stayed bridge. The bridge has become a major tourist attraction in the city of Cairo due to its unique location, where visitors can cross the side pedestrian walkways, which have panoramic views of the banks of the Nile and a transparent glass walkway in which visitors can walk over the Nile.
