Pedestrians walk along Qasr El Nile Bridge during sunset, with vintage lamp posts lining the walkway and traffic running alongside. The statue at Tahrir Square end of the bridge and surrounding Cairo cityscape are visible in the background. Qasr El Nile Bridge connects Wust El-Balad (Downtown Cairo) to Zamalek Island over the Nile River, and is one of Cairo's most recognized and historically significant crossings.
