Dawn on the Nile throws a hard, gold-edged light across the water as the cruise slips away from Luxor’s pier — palm crowns and temple pylons sliding past like chapters in a history book. On this six-night journey, the river itself becomes the main road: quiet stretches of current broken by the occasional town, a felucca hoisting sail, and temples that rise straight from the bank.
