soueif first describes cairo as viewed from the river at a distance, rather than from within the protest. How does this help the reader visualize the scene

I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that by viewing from the river at a distance, rather than from within the protest will help the reader visualize the scene since it will picture out a wider version of the protesters and the environment they have.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you. If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

By describing Cairo as viewed from the river, the reader can better visualize the entirety of the protest. The reader can see not only what is happening with the protest but also what is happening around it. The reader can see how big or small the protest is and how the protest is effecting the rest of that section of Cairo. If it was described within the protest, there would be a limited view of what was happening. The reader may only know about a couple of the protesters and not truly see how the protest evolves or is effecting the rest of the area.
