Ahl Misr Walkway Project

Ahl Misr Walkway Project is a civilizational leap that aims to improve the quality of life and increase green spaces and open areas across Cairo.

Egypt's government developed a comprehensive plan to benefit from the ongoing demolition of illegal construction on the banks of the Nile, which is the Ahl Misr Walkway. The project is part of the development plan of the Nile Corniche area extending from Aswan to Cairo.

The Ahl Misr project is one of the mega projects that will change the face of Cairo and restore its urban features along the banks of the Nile. It will also increase the individual's share of green spaces and open areas in that area.

The Ahl Misr Walkway Project comprises three phases:

The first phase extends from the 15 May Bridge to the October Bridge and includes the construction of:

• a walkway alongside the Nile River with a width of 6.5 meters
• 62 shops, 5 cafeterias, 5 restaurants
• 3 stadiums and a theatre
• 3 parking lots
• Green spaces on an area of 3100 m²

The second phase is under construction and will extend from the Qasr El-Nil Bridge to the Imbaba Bridge.

The third phase will consist of two parts one will extend from the Tahya Misr Bridge to the Sahel Bridge and another from the Qasr El-Nil Bridge to the Qasr El-Aini Bridge.

The Ahl Misr Walkway will become a tourist attraction that will increase the state's annual revenues.

Moreover, Egypt's Prime Minister has instructed to design high-quality night lighting systems in all areas overlooking the Nile as part of the Nile Corniche Development Project.

While planning the project, it was taking into consideration building underground car parks and using its surface to hold entertainment activities.

Ahl Misr Walkway Statue reflects history and modernity

The Ahl Misr Walkway statue is designed by the Egyptian Sculptor Ahmed Moussa, a professor at the Fine Arts Faculty, Helwan University. The statue is a woman sitting and raising her as if she were receiving water from the sky to irrigate the earth. The sculptor inspired the idea of the statue from ancient Egyptian civilization, but with a contemporary vision.
