Step off a Cairo curb as evening folds over the city and board a low-slung cruise that slides along the Nile. Lanterns and floodlights throw long reflections; the river moves like a current of stories, daring you to watch the city shift from minarets and streetlights to a ribbon of glowing windows. Guests start with an open buffet on the main deck, then drift upstairs for pictures on the sun-disk as the cruise hums past the Nile Corniche.
