to the airport across bridge and by flyover

by uglyscot - last update: Sep 12, 2007

Cairo's traffic system

flyovers
Cairo has so many ugly flyovers, though without them movement would be impossible.
I found it very strange to be on a level with the rooftops, looking down into buildings. Because buildings always look as if they are unfinished or falling down, it was quite nerve-racking in the early weeks, but like everything else one gets used to it. They are ugly concrete structures, but enable you to get a good view of things.
on a flyover
You get used to the cars racing and overtaking each other on the flyovers. I always imagine someone flying over the edge and landing on someon's roof, or on the road below.
26 October Bridge

Bridge

One of the main bridges across the Nile is the 26th October bridge which is part of the 26 October Corridor , a route that goes right across Cairo .

An interesting church

Church

Another interesting church that can be seen from the flyover when going to the airport.
tall minarets

Mosque

With so many different styles of mosque, it is interesting to see them from a high level and especially when the minarets are still towering above everything. This particular mosque also has 3 domes.

 Super Cairo tips, Shane! I'm visiting for the first time next month and trying to decide whether Zamalek is the best place for me to stay. Thanks for your excellent tips and photos!//Nice update! I'll keep an eye out for the Umm Ali! Thanks :-)
