New 10-day experience combines iconic sites with Egypt’s newly introduced sleeper train for a truly immersive adventure
PURE ONE Travel has announced the launch of its new 10 Days “True Egypt by Train” journey, an experience-led small-group tour offering travellers a rare opportunity to explore Egypt’s most iconic landscapes and historic sites using the country’s newly enhanced sleeper train service between Cairo and Aswan.
The programme represents one of the most distinctive ways to experience Egypt, combining ancient civilisation, cultural depth and a unique rail journey along the Nile corridor.
Priced from £1,515 per person, the itinerary offers exceptional value for a fully curated, multi-destination journey through one of the world’s most historically rich countries.
“This is a truly special journey,” said Wesley Baker, Founder of PURE ONE Travel. “Egypt is one of the most extraordinary destinations on Earth, and travelling through it by sleeper train adds a completely different dimension to the experience. It slows the journey down, connects the landscapes, and allows travellers to feel the country rather than just see it.”
A Journey Through the Heart of Ancient Egypt
The 10-day itinerary is designed to showcase Egypt’s most iconic and culturally significant locations, from the energy of Cairo to the timeless landscapes of Upper Egypt.
A defining feature of the journey is the overnight sleeper train experience, allowing travellers to travel between Cairo and Aswan in comfort while experiencing the rhythm and scale of the country in a way that traditional fly-in itineraries cannot offer.
The rail journey itself becomes part of the experience – a nostalgic and atmospheric way to travel through a land shaped by thousands of years of history.
A Different Way to Experience Egypt
PURE ONE Travel says the programme has been designed to stand apart from conventional Egypt tours.
Rather than focusing purely on sightseeing, the itinerary combines history, landscape, cultural immersion and unique modes of travel, creating a more connected and memorable experience.
“Most Egypt trips move quickly between locations,” Baker added. “This journey is about experiencing the space between them – the landscapes, the journey itself, and the feeling of travelling through one of the world’s great civilisations.”
The small-group format ensures a more personal experience, with time to absorb each destination while maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable pace.
Carefully Planned and Fully Curated
The “True Egypt by Train” programme has been carefully structured to provide a seamless travel experience, combining transport, accommodation and guided exploration into a single well-organised itinerary.
PURE ONE Travel specialises in small-group journeys designed for travellers seeking meaningful experiences rather than conventional package holidays.
The Egypt programme reflects this approach, offering a journey that is both accessible and deeply immersive.

PURE ONE Travel says the launch comes at a time of renewed interest in Egypt as a travel destination, with travellers increasingly seeking culturally rich experiences that go beyond traditional holiday formats.
“Egypt offers something truly timeless,” Baker said. “History, culture, landscapes – it’s all there. This journey allows travellers to experience it in a way that feels authentic, immersive and genuinely memorable.”
