You step into the soft rattle of wheels and the measured clip-clop of hooves as the carriage eases away from the Nile corniche. The air smells of warm stone and spice; city life drifts past in slow frames — mosque minarets, vendors calling, the embossed columns of an age that still holds court a few blocks away.
