A warm breeze lifts the edge of your napkin as the cruise glides away from the dock and Cairo’s lights unspool along the riverbanks. On deck, the Nile moves in slow, determined sweeps — black water punctuated by buoys and the occasional fishing skiff — while the city’s minarets and modern towers alternate in the window of night.
