In a world where speed often reigns supreme, there is a growing appreciation for the unhurried elegance of slow living. From slow food to slow travel, the trend towards enjoying the journey at a leisurely pace is gaining momentum.
Enter Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities, alongside the Ministry of Transportation and luxury hospitality group ‘Arsenale’, presenting the Land of the Pharaohs luxury train experience. Set to launch in 2026, this opulent journey will take travelers from Cairo to Upper Egypt, offering a curated exploration of Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel.
What sets this venture apart is its commitment to sustainable luxury. The train, with its forty lavishly appointed cabins, provides a refined sanctuary for guests to unwind and embrace the art of leisure as they traverse the landscapes along the Nile. Each stop along the way offers an immersive encounter with Egypt’s timeless wonders.
As peace efforts strengthen between Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, there is hope that this luxury train will one day extend its route to Saudi Arabia, further enhancing regional connectivity.
