The lights of Cairo bend and multiply on the Nile as the boat slips away from the riverbank; the current nudges the hull and the skyline slowly reassembles into a row of glowing windows and minarets. Onboard, plates clink and conversations lower as musicians tune and the first Tanoura whirl begins under the open awning.
