This pedestrian wooden bridge connects Old Cairo with Roda Island, the Manasterly Bridge is a commonly used by those who want to visit the Manasterly cultural complex, which includes a palace, Oum Kulthoum Museum and Nilometer, located at the island’s southern tip.
It would be nice if it was taken care of by the Tourism Ministry. All it needs is a coat of paint and some new lighting and also a bit of a clean up and this place would be amazing.
I was there during a public holiday so there’s a lot of locals but the vibes were nice. If you want to come for a photo shoot then best to come when it’s quiet.

One of the old bridges in Cairo, very beautiful design all made of wood, near Manestrly Palace.
Nice view,below average service,crowded.
A very beautiful wooden bridge with unique architecture and design.
It connects Rhoda Island to Old Cairo and it’s named after the Manasterly Palace on Rhoda Island that’s located just next to the bridge.

It’s good to go and see this wooden bridge but the government isn’t looking after it.
There is a piece of the roof broken and may fall down any time.

It's a nice place to visit. Would not say it's a must go as a tourist but still, it's not a place I regret going.
There are different street booths which sell hot and cold drinks, ice cream, nuts, kids toys, sandwiches, etc.
It's a nice place to take a walk but avoid the busiest hours 6-10 pm.

The Mansterly Bridge is very well designed, but in the daytime it does not strike the imagination. The dome could be covered with at least mats to create shade. The brown color is very unfortunate. It was possible to paint the wooden parts white or add light green to the white color. There is very little greenery in Cairo. Then, next to the Al Vorsa embankment, it would look very good. And the adjacent technical bridge-overpass could also be painted white and green. And the bottom could be painted in the light blue color of water.
It is like you own the Nile River. It surrounded you from everywhere. It is glorious scenery. And you will see the old Nilometer that measure the Nile level.
