You step from the hotel car onto the Nile bank as the river breathes slow and warm; a wooden felucca waits, candles already lit, the mast a quiet silhouette against the city skyline. The crew helps you aboard, cushions arranged, and the felucca slips into the current that seems to guide the boat downstream with polite insistence.
