A thin river mist lifts as the cruise eases away from Aswan’s docks, the Nile widening like a patient road through ochre cliffs and palm-lined islands. On deck, the sun teases the water while the city’s basalt quays slide astern; the river seems to dare you to slow down and look. Over the next four days you’ll trade highways for prow-lined horizons and temple-filled afternoons.
