The sunlight slows across the Nile as Cairo’s skyline pulls into focus — the Cairo Tower peeks above Zamalek’s treetops and the bronze lions of Qasr el Nil Bridge watch the current pull you by. Onboard a private yacht, the river becomes a moving viewpoint: broad glass reflections, a faint humm of traffic from the bridges, and the guide pointing out the Opera House and the Museum as you glide past.
