The city exhales differently after sunset — lights stitch the Nile promenade, minaret silhouettes sharpen against the sky, and the alleys of Khan El Khalili hum with bargaining and cardamom tea. Your evening begins with a private pickup and a slow carriage ride through Zamalek and along the Nile Corniche, the river daring you to follow its bright curve past people feeding pigeons and cafes spilling light.
