Luxor Station & Train EG072606jhp Egypt Luxor Station platform train passengers modern architecture Egyptians found at the end of this long straight road Sharia al-Mahatta from just behind Luxor Temple and facing the elegant and modern railway station façade. We were dropped here before entering the station and boarding the main Aswan to Cairo train for a visit to the Minya area. Although we travelled First Class and the seats were undoubtately some of the most comfortable I had had on a train the toilets were probably the worst I have ever experienced anywhere and given the importance of tourism to Egypt and the huge pool of labour available this was an unacceptable lack of standards.
