The evening air on the Nile cools as Cairo’s lights take shape along the corniche. Onboard a five-star riverboat, you slide away from the concrete edge and the city unfurls in reflected neon — Cairo Tower, the Opera House, small local feluccas bobbing like dark punctuation. The river dares you to slow down; the current keeps time while lanterns and music set the pace.
