The city lights along the Nile blink awake as your guide leads you from a hotel pickup into Cairo’s downtown hum. Streetlamps throw long shadows across Tahrir Square, vendors call for business in quick, practiced rhythms, and the river’s surface dares you to look away—its slow current a constant companion through the maze of concrete and history.
