Overnight Train From Cairo To Aswan

The most difficult part of a holiday in Egypt might involve overnight travel by train. In this case we went the entire way from Cairo to Aswan. By train that's an incredibly long way indeed. However, one of the great benefits of doing this is that you get to see how the River Nile changes as you move ever southward in the direction of Nubia. By the time you reach Aswan the desert comes right up to the very banks of the Nile.
