Giza Zoo’s Eiffel Bridge is coming back to life: Egypt and France have signed an agreement to restore the 150-year-old Eiffel Bridge in the Giza Zoo, which was designed in the late 1800s by French architect Gustave Eiffel, Agriculture Ministry spokesman Mohamed El Karsh told Ahram Online. The bridge has been closed since the 1990s after requiring repairs, and will be open to the public again once the renovation works are completed. El Karsh did not provide an expected timeline.
