The Nile slides past Cairo like a living corridor of light; lamps blink along the Corniche as the cruise slips away from the dock and the city exhales. Onboard, lanterns warm the buffet line while a belly dancer steps forward, the beat pulling the river’s rhythm into the cabin. The tanoura whirls later, skirts fanning color into the night.
