The year before we came to Turkey we went to Luxor.No Nile cruise this time but we did use the train.We took the sleeper train from Luxor to Cairo and what a great experience.Food was great and Booze very cheap.Super Cabins and the staff could not do enough for you.You need to book first class and the cost then was about 60 GBP's each return.Çay in the morning in your cabin and complimentary breakfast, just great.we spent the morning at the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum in the afternoon.Back to the station and the sleeper train back to Luxor.I would do it again anytime.For anybody that is interested in this journey or indeed any other train journey world wide here is a web site http://www.seat61.com
