Cairo - Gezira Gezira Bulaq

In the southern half of Gezira is the great landmark and emblem of the modern city of Cairo, the 614ft/187m high Cairo Tower, with observation platforms and a restaurant from which there are panoramic views of the city.

The south end of Gezira can be reached direct from the Midan el-Tahrir by way of the El-Tahrir Bridge.

Off the southern tip of Gezira, in the middle of the Nile, a fountain forms a prominent feature in the landscape.

South of the tower is the Gezira Museum, with a Transport Museum and the Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
