Dawn slips across the Nile like a slow promise: palm fronds silhouette against glassy water, feluccas drifting as the m/s Movenpick unhooks from Luxor’s quay. Days on this five‑day cruise move by a gentle rhythm — mornings ashore at temple gates, afternoons on deck watching the river’s bank edge change from green alluvial plain to ochre cliffs.
