The river takes the wheel as Cairo’s lights slide by — palms, bridges, and a luminous skyline reflected in the Nile’s slow current. On board, conversation lowers to the rhythm of the water while a buffet lines the stern and the stage readies; within minutes the first swirl of the Tanoura skirt and the practiced shimmy of a belly dancer fill the air.
