Heavy night traffic moves across Qasr Al-Nil Bridge in central Cairo, with wet road surfaces reflecting vehicle headlights and street lamps. The illuminated Novotel Cairo Hotel sign is prominently visible on the right, alongside the bridge's iconic stone pylons and a distant equestrian statue. Qasr Al-Nil Bridge is one of Cairo's most historically significant crossings over the Nile, connecting Tahrir Square to Zamalek Island.
