Notes:

• 2020: Egypt's Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation announced a partnership between Egypt and France to restore the bridge.
• The early history of this bridge is unclear. Some sources claim it was "designed" in the late 1870s. Others imply it was present when the Giza Zoo opened in 1891. Some sources claim it was built by Eiffel prior to the Eiffel Tower (1887-1889). A Cairo Times article (June 12, 1997) by Samir Raafat describes it as a "light suspension bridge built by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel and brought to Cairo when [Khedive] Ismail visited the Paris Exhibition" which possibly dates it to the 1889 Paris Exposition (aligning somewhat with the 1891 zoo opening) or perhaps the 1900 Paris Exposition. The related postcard image may show the same bridge at the 1900 exposition.
