Step onto the deck as the sun dips behind Cairo’s skyline and the Nile begins to mirror a thousand lights. The city’s hum softens to the slap of water against the hull; streetlamps and minarets move by like markers on a slow, shimmering map. For two hours you glide downstream, the river pushing you through an illuminated stretch of modern bridges and older stone quays while performers take the stage.
