Nighttrain from Cairo for a woman travelling alone
Hi, my experience travelling alone for first time for a woman in Egypt is not easy. Try to avoid the night train from Cairo to Aswan or Luxor, I was a nightmare for me. The place is terrible dirty. There are no way to close the door of the cabine from outside and if you have the very bad luck to have to go to the horrible bathroom..you have to let your bags alone. Imposible to sleep, revolting meal. After the terrible trip to Aswan I changed my ticket and returned to Cairo by plane which cost is very similar. Situation is not easy with men for a woman alone in Egypt any age, any way you look or dress...but, you will be better with others women if you dress very conservative.
