The Rod El Farag Axis Bridge or simply Tahya Misr Bridge (Arabic: كوبري تحيا مصر) is a cable-stayed bridge over the Nile river located in the region of Rod El Farag crossing through Cairo, Egypt. It was built by the Arab Contractors. With a width of 67.3 meters, the bridge holds the Guinness World Record for the world's widest cable-stayed bridge.[1][2]
