Additional Details:
This fine iron bridge (1,250 feet long) connects the island of Gezirch (or Butak) with the east bank of the Nile, and is opened for a certain period daily to allow sailing boats to pass up and down the river. Early in the morning the bridge is crowded with camels, donkeys and their owners bringing market garden produce into the town.
