The boat slips away from the Corniche as Cairo’s lights reclaim the horizon; the river draws a dark ribbon beneath the hull and the city hums on both banks. Inside, linen-topped tables are lit by low lamps, steam rises from a buffet, and the first strains of oud and Arabic percussion thread through the night air.
