First, grab a quick bus from the Cairo Airport and ride the Tomnaya line to the Military Academy Stadium area, which takes about seven minutes. From there, hop on a Microbus to get to the Othman Pedestrian Bridge on Ring Road, a slightly longer ride of roughly forty-two minutes. Once you arrive at the bridge, it's just a very short, pleasant walk through the neighborhood to reach the city center.
