The late-afternoon sun slants off the Nile’s slow back, turning Cairo’s waterfront lights into a line of stars that follow your boat. Boarding the Nile Maxim, you step into an evening where the river pulls you along — the current a quiet partner — while the city unfurls: bridges, minarets and the occasional cargo barge sliding past like a darker shadow.
