A wooden skiff rocks at the edge of the Nile, the river’s surface catching late-morning light like a moving lane of coins. You step into a one-person boat fitted with a double paddle; the guide fits a life jacket, points to the current and shows the stroke that will keep the craft steady. For the next 60 minutes the Nile becomes a companion—sometimes gentle, sometimes insistent—pushing the boat past palm-fringed banks, low mudbrick homes and the occasional cluster of feluccas.
