On Zamalek island since 1961: Cairo Tower in its lotus-woven concrete lattice (187m — famously taller than Khufu) — deck and revolving restaurant spreading Nile and city to the pyramids on clear days. Sunset into night ignites the river and lights the bridges in arcs; winter clears the pyramid line, summer settles for the Nile's night scene; join the corniche walk and Zamalek house-boats for a full Nile evening.
