The boat slips from the quay at dusk and Cairo’s skyline sharpens into a row of lights; the Nile moves like a slow, persuasive current, daring you to relax. On a two-hour evening cruise you sit at a table near the rail while the city slides past — minarets and modern towers passing in the same glance — and the band warms up as the buffet opens.
