The scent of spice stalls and the low murmur of conversations follow you down El-Muizz Street as the sun drops behind minarets. Stone facades lean close over narrow lanes, lanterns wink on, and the Nile begins to catch the last light — a city that keeps its history in active use. This evening itinerary pairs a guided walk through one of Cairo’s richest medieval quarters with a panoramic, rotating dinner at Cairo Tower on Gezira Island.
