Egypt's Railway Museum inaugurated after major renovation - Museums - Heritage - Ahram Online

Reading about this reminded me about a set of guests who came many years and for the man of the couple this was the best part of his visit to Cairo. He was seriously into trains. We caught the train together from Aswan to Luxor just so he could have a railway fix. He was in ecstasy about the signalling system which apparently was old 1930's British design and in his opinion was the safest and best system. It is interesting what extra things make an Egyptian holiday special for a tourist. Bird watching, star gazing and fishing are obvious extras to a historical Egyptian holiday But trains!!!! that one was unique
