You step out of Cairo International into a dry, warm air that smells faintly of spices and exhaust; the pyramids wait like weathered giants on the city's western horizon. A short domestic flight later you find yourself on the Nile's edge in Luxor, where the cruise ship rocks gently while feluccas tug at the current like patient boatsmen. The five-day deluxe cruise between Luxor and Aswan stitches pharaonic temples and riverside villages into a compact, slow-moving journey.
