The first light hits the Nile and the cruise slips away from Aswan, copper cliffs sliding past as gulls cut low over the water. On a four-day downstream run toward Luxor, the river insists — it will show you temples that still argue with the sun and tombs that keep the desert cool in their stone mouths.
