A wooden boat with one triangular sail and no engine, so once you push off the car horns fade and you're left with the sound of water. As the sun drops the river turns orange, and the lights come on along the Cairo Tower and riverside towers. The captain mostly just holds the tiller and tacks with the wind. If the party boats blasting music aren't your thing, this is the quiet option.
