More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from the quay and the Nile takes the city lights in its wake — minarets, bridges and the distant silhouette of the Cairo skyline sliding past under starlight. Within minutes the river becomes a slow-moving theater: lamps outlining the riverbanks, the chatter of other boats, and the low thrum of an onboard sound system preparing for the night's show.
