Corniche el Nile
Each evening, the wide pavements of the Corniche are packed with promenading families, roaming college kids, and young lovers, all enjoying the pleasant water-borne breezes and the sense of open space that the river provides.
An even better way to enjoy the river is on a felucca, one of the small triangular-sailed boats used on the Nile since antiquity.
The boats (which can be hired by the hour) and their captains gather at various landing stages, including one opposite the Semiramis Hotel and another at Dokdok, opposite the northern tip of Rhoda Island.
Lazily scudding about the river while the sun drops towards the skyline makes for a calming end to a hectic day of sightseeing.
