Night on the Nile arrives slowly in Cairo: lights blink awake along broad riverbanks, street-level traffic hums behind the palm-lined quay, and the river itself takes on a cool, reflective calm that seems to dare you to relax. Boarding begins under lamps and the soft thud of luggage being stowed; an air-conditioned coach and an English-speaking guide collect guests from city and Giza hotels before delivering them to the pier.
