River Nile: Walk along the Nile
The Nile has a number of bridges and walking across them is enjoyable as you can see boats, feuccas and floating restaurants, as well as getting a view of the sky!
In the river are two islands that make pleasant places to walk. The Gezira [=Island] includes the suburb of Zamalek with shady streets and interesting shops and cafes.
Here is the Cairo Tower, the Fish Gardens and the Marriott Hotel which was a palace of the former Khedive.
The other island is Roda where the Nilometer is situated.
Both banks of the nile have long Corniches, but probably the eastern bank is more popular .

River Nile: Nilometer
There are still a handful of these ancient structures left but they are well off the beaten path. These are the measuring devices of the ancient Egyptian fortunes - the Nile being too high or too low meant difficult times ahead for the farmers along it's banks. The nilometers are deep, cyclindrical stuctures with a stone measuring column standing in it's center. This one is located at the southern tip of an island in the heart of Cairo.
