The felucca slips away from the pier and the city’s noise gets thinned by wind and water; sailcloth bellies catch a steady breeze while the Nile’s surface pushes you downstream past palm-fringed quays and low-rise apartment blocks. From the wooden bench the river feels alive—boats flash by, birds quarter the air, and the skyline of Cairo folds into wide, sun-washed planes.
