In school, teachers will blandly describe the Nile as the longest river in Africa, traveling north from Sudan to Egypt. What they don’t tell you about are the party boats that pulsate all along the river all through the night. Forget NYC because Cairo is the true “City That Never Sleeps.” Embossed with bright, neon colors that drape every corner of the boat, these nightly cruises blast Egyptian pop music that rumbles throughout the vicinity, across the 6th October Bridge and up and down the piers.
