The Manasterly Bridge in Cairo connects Roda Island to the mainland near the southern tip of the island, adjacent to the 19th-century Manasterly Palace. Built to provide direct access to the palace complex, the bridge features stone piers and iron elements typical of the engineering approaches of its time. Though relatively modest in scale, it remains a functional structure and an integral part of the palace’s setting, offering views of the Nile and linking key architectural elements along the riverfront.

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.

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. Date i was there 23/feb/23

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.
