Traffic on the 6th October bridge was always congested. The streets were very noisy with drivers honking at each other etc. However, it is definitely an interesting place to visit as it reflects a lot on the Egyptian's life. Stalls are set up on the side of the street so that drivers can stop by to buy food. There are... More

It joins most of Cairo together trying to make shortcuts to places, yet it's crowded. A shortcut in which you spend a lot of time to reach your destination. More

Sunset and in the evening it's a nice place to watch the water and the world go buy. There is people selling things, lovers chatting and you can see the river boats with music and fun going around the nile. If you like to live in the slow lane and enjoy what the locals like, stop here and enjoy! More

I wonder how come this is an attraction. It is a long bridge (around 13 kms) that most people drive on daily to go to work. There is a portion that passes over the Nile. Many people stand up there watching the Nile. Nice view at night. However, I don't rate it as an attraction. More

What can you say about a bridge? The traffic is busy, impatient and noisy and not to be tackled during rush hour!!! More

Who nominates these for rating? Nothing special about this bridge, unless it was the time taken to complete it. This is simply the arterial built to take the load off the traffic getting to the airport. There is a shortt section of bridge that is architecturally pleasing. You'll probably go over this bridge without realizing it, however. More

From the sixth of october bridge specially above the nile you can have a great view of Cairo, also the bridge can take you into a ride from Nasr city To Dokkin in Giza. You will enjoy the landscape. More
