The boat slips away from the Corniche as the city lights tilt and a cool Nile breeze pushes forward across the water. On deck, plates of mezze and grilled fish wait while a live band tunes a rhythm that will carry through the two-hour cruise; later, a circle of colorful skirts will spin into the Tanura whirling, and a belly dancer will move with precise, practiced grace.
