The river slips by in a slow, reflective current as lanterns from the Corniche smear into the water — you sit on a low-slung flouka, the open-air wooden boat that has ferried Cairo for generations. The boat tips gently with each wave; the Nile guides the boat past the glow of Cairo Tower, the silhouette of the Egyptian Museum, and the steady arc of Qasr El Nil Bridge while a three-course meal arrives at your table.
