The call to prayer softens into the hum of the city as lights catch the Nile and the Cairo Tower rises like a lit column over Gezira Island. You meet your guide in early evening and climb (or ride) to the tower’s observation level—187 meters up—where the grid of Cairo folds into a river-split panorama. Later, a traditional felucca slips from the bank: a flat wooden hull and canvas sail, the river breeze pushing you past lit promenades and low-lying buildings that look different at night.
