The corniche, the bridges and a felucca at sunset
The Nile at Cairo
Typical visit: 1 h
The river the city was built around — walked along the corniche, or seen properly from the water on a felucca.
View on Google MapsAbout
Cairo turns its face to the Nile along the corniche, and the easiest way to understand the city's shape is an hour on the water. Feluccas leave from the Garden City and Zamalek moorings; the sail is slow, quiet and almost entirely out of the traffic that defines everything else about getting around Cairo.
