Egypt's incredible sleeper train leaves from Cairo Ramses station and heads via Luxor to Aswan - this amazing trip down the Nile uses Communist-Era East German deluxe sleeper cars and it is quite the experience! Operated by Ernst Watania, this is an unmissable bucket list item for the real enthusiast, and is one to tick off even if you just fancy a change from flying.

This is one incredible trip, and you’ll see everything from the onboard meals, the club car, and sleeping accommodation, and find out exactly what it’s like to travel on this iconic train to some of Egypt’s hottest tourist destinations. So join me for this long trip down the Nile, from Cairo to Aswan in the south. Our trip is 889 kilometres and it’ll take nearly 14 hours to complete the trip. Welcome aboard Egypt’s best train!
