You arrive as the city shifts gears — traffic softens, neon signs take over, and the Nile throws a ribbon of reflected light across the horizon. From the Cairo Tower observation deck the metropolis opens: minarets puncture the sky, modern blocks stack into the distance, and the river slices the scene into eastern and western halves. The air holds the scent of street food, engine exhaust and jasmine from nearby gardens.
