Who would’ve thought that taking a train in Egypt would be such an adventure?

We were super excited to embark on our overnight sleeper train journey from Luxor to Giza. The idea of experiencing Egypt in a unique way was thrilling. However, little did we know that this would be one for the books!

We arrived at the train station with plenty of time to spare, only to find ourselves waiting for what felt like forever. The station was chaotic, and we were starting to get a little nervous. Thankfully, we managed to find someone who helped us navigate the madness and get on the right train.

Our business class cabin was surprisingly cozy and spacious. We were impressed! We even got a delicious dinner delivered to our room. The food was surprisingly good, considering it was train food.

As the night wore on, we realized that the train was anything but smooth. It felt like we were constantly on a bumpy rollercoaster. Getting any sleep was a challenge. To make matters worse, we found out about a train crash that had happened the previous day. Despite our initial fear, we decided to push through and enjoy the experience.

The next morning, we were greeted with a lovely breakfast box and stunning views of the Egyptian countryside. Arriving in Giza was a surreal experience. We couldn’t believe we had actually made it!

Overall, our overnight train adventure was definitely an experience we won’t forget. It was a mix of excitement, chaos, and a little bit of fear. But hey, that’s what makes travel so exciting, right?

Would we do it again? Probably not. But we’re glad we did it once!
