Wow, you had quite the trip.

I was there in 2022 and wrote several articles on my journey.

One of my posts was specifically on the train trip. The Worst Must-do Experience in Egypt. Like you, I will never forget it.

At least on my trip, we had sleeper cabins with a toilet at the end of the car. Not that it made any difference to the cleanliness.

Thank you! For sure a train ride across Egypt can only be understood by those who have done it as well. When I saw the passing tracks through the hole that was a big nope for me haha.

Oh, the toilets also had holes and open tracks below.

Sometimes no water to flush.

Squat toilet would have been cleaner.

One day I will write a post about the toilets in Egypt. Lol.
