No Experience Required

The morning light bends off the Nile as the cruise slides away from Aswan — palms blur into sugarcane fields, and small river towns peer at you from narrow banks. On deck, the river nudges the hull and the air smells faintly of cumin and river mud; you feel the slow momentum of a landscape that has shaped civilization.
