EGYPT, my train ride from CAIRO to ALEXANDRIA ????
Subscribe here: - Let's take the train from Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, and let's travel to the historic city of Alexandria. We are going to travel for 220 kilometers (a trip of 3.5 hours) and we are going to pass the desert, water canals, villages and many graphic towns.
Egypt, a country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East, dates to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old monuments sit along the fertile Nile River Valley, including Giza's colossal Pyramids and Great Sphinx as well as Luxor's hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman landmarks like Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities.

Famed River Nile bridge falls into disrepair
(21 Aug 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4049220
The 125-year-old Imbaba Bridge was the first link between the cities of Cairo and Giza and still carries railway lines running between northern and southern Egypt.
But despite being a famous icon of the River Nile, the bridge is slowly deteriorating and is in need of repair.
The Imbaba bridge is one of the icons of Egypt's River Nile - but it has seen better days.
This historic piece of engineering has become a celebrated landmark, featuring in several movies and television series, such as the 1978-film 'Death on the Nile' with master detective Hercule Poirot.
But heavy modern traffic has left visible wear.
The bridge was constructed 125 years ago in 1891, and was the first to connect both sides of the River Nile.
It's one of eight functioning bridges that currently link Egypt's capital, Cairo and the country's third largest city, Giza, across the river.
Rust is corroding the metal frame and cars move slowly over the bridge due to damaged pavements and bumps.
But transport officials say the bridge is not a top priority for Egypt's government.
Mohamed Shehata, head of the Egyptian Committee of Transportation, says the country needs to concentrate resources on constructing new highways, bridges and roads.
The bridge was completely affected by the Egyptian uprising back in 2011. It's had a lot of damage from that time until now, he says.
We can't refurbish it now as we have other priorities like the National Project for Roads and Highways. These projects are more important in order to rebuild our economy.
So it is impossible for us to leave a damaged and deserted road without rebuilding it and turn to refurbish the Imbaba Bridge that is still efficiently working at the moment. But in the coming years we have big plans to refurbish and develop the Imbaba bridge.
The first version of the bridge was constructed by a French company and was designed to allow trains and carts to move in both directions at the same time.
Before then, railways from the north stopped at the eastern bank of the Nile.
Passengers and goods then had to cross the river by ferry, before transferring onto another train on the western bank.
The Egyptian government decided to rebuild the bridge in 1912 so it could bear more weight, as trains were getting heavier and cars were gradually replacing carts and donkeys.
Belgian company La Societe Anonyme Baume & Marpent was responsible for the new design.
Their model can be still seen in the National Railway Museum for Trains and Bridges.
Imbaba Bridge was constructed in 1891. The reason for building the bridge was to connect the northern part of Egypt with its southern part, says museum director Nahed Alkhateeb.
The bridge is constructed to hold two floors. The lower floor is made for railway track and cars and the upper floor is made for pedestrians.
The iron bridge was the first of its kind in Egypt, with a rotating section to allow the passage of larger ships sailing down the Nile.
The middle part of the bridge swings to the side, creating an opening for ships.
The bridge's length is 495 metres. It consists of seven sections one of them can be opened. The bridge is one of those which can be opened to ease the passage of huge ships in the river Nile. Afterwards it's closed again to let the cars and trains pass through, says
Alkhateeb.
Cars, vans, mini trucks and half-trucks are the only vehicles - along with trains - allowed to cross the bridge.
Buses, heavy trucks and mini buses are banned from passing over the bridge for safety reasons.
The bridge's two floors separate trains and cars from pedestrians.

Alexandria Aquarium in Egypt - Species from Different Waters
Alexandria Aquarium in Egypt presents different species from the Mediterranean and Red Seas as well as some species from the fresh water of the Nile and the Amazon.
The Alexandria Aquarium Museum ( is a small museum that was found a long time ago near the Qaitbay fort on Alexandria's Eastern Harbour and it displays a wonderful collection of marine species from the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea and the Nile River in Egypt. The animals which are displayed in the museum range from fish to crustaceans and turtles.
When it comes to the different things that could be done when you visit Alexandria then mentioning the Alexandria aquarium is considered important because it is so close to the Qaitbay Citadel ( which tourists will definitely visit because it comes as one of the top touristic places in Alexandria.
The Qaitbay Citadel is found at the entrance of the harbour and is built on the exact location of the historical Lighthouse of Alexandria, which is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
A lot of tourists enter this aquarium expecting to see something big, but even though this is considered a small aquarium that will not take more than 15 to 20 minutes while wandering through it all, it still manages to bring beautiful species which a lot of people will enjoy, even the children.
The good things about this aquarium is that it could be visited during the same day of visiting Qaitbay Citadel because it is only 10 minutes walk away or even less and does not take much time; so you will get the chance to see beautiful creatures and not waste much of the day as well.
In addition to the living species that are displayed in this aquarium, it also displays the skeleton of a whale, which is considered an interesting thing for a lot of visitors; to see a skeleton of a huge thing like a whale.
Although Alexandria aquarium is considered very small and needs some work to enhance the place, it is important to place it on your to-do list when it comes to visiting Alexandria; it could come later in the list in case there isn't enough time, but it will be considered a different thing to do than seeing all the historical places related to Alexandria.
The museum found inside Alexandria aquarium carries different things to be seen as well, such as different types of marine life, shells, and reef. There are also different examples of fishing utensils inside the aquarium museum, which will attract some viewers to it if they are into the world of sea species.
Alexandria aquarium museum working hours are so flexible because it opens from 9 AM and closes at 9 PM, giving tourists a lot of time during the day to come across without changing any other plans they have during the day related to visiting other places in Alexandria.
In addition to the working hours, Alexandria aquarium entrance fees are not expensive at all and thus give the tourists the chance to easily visit it without paying a lot of money; it only costs two Egyptian pounds for the Egyptians and 20 Egyptian pounds for the foreigners.
Kids will enjoy this aquarium more than adults because the place is not big, will not spend a lot of time inside, and the kids will never be carrying expectations like adults who might have visited different aquariums around the world before.
Alexandria ( is the second largest city in Egypt coming after Cairo, the capital, and thus there are different things to do there and different places to visit once your feet step in it. In addition to the important Qaitbay Citadel that now stands in the same place of the famous old lighthouse, there is also the Library of Alexandria which has been reincarnated, and there are also some Greco-Roman landmarks, old cafes, and sandy beaches.
From the different things that you could visit in Alexandria; you could visit The Royal Jewelry Museum, The Roman Theater, The Montaza Palace, Bibliothica Alexandria, Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi Mosque, and different other attractions which you might get astonished to see, especially for the first time.
Alexandria is still filled with different things to see but if you want to have one or two days away from all the hassle and enjoy the quietness of the beach with the good breeze then you could get away to the North Coast ( in which you could rent an apartment by the sea or even book a room in any hotel and enjoy the good weather of the place which is not far away from Alexandria, only half an hour or an hour in total by care according to the place you will stay in.
From the attractions that you could see in Egypt in general, you could visit The Pyramids ( you could go up Cairo Tower ( and you could also go around downtown Cairo (

[Wikipedia] Cape to Cairo Railway
The Cape to Cairo Railway is an uncompleted project to cross Africa from south to north by rail. This plan was initiated at the end of the 19th century, during the time of Western colonial rule, largely under the vision of Cecil Rhodes, in the attempt to connect adjacent African possessions of the British Empire through a continuous line from Cape Town, South Africa to Cairo, Egypt. While most sections of the Cape to Cairo railway are in operation, a major part is missing between northern Sudan and Uganda.

Reached Aswan, a bit late but did make it in one piece and luckily no bed bugs or any other creepy crawlies. Cleanliness in Egypt seems to be an optional extra (non-existent really)
Coming up to the Ferry Port of the Elephantine Island felt like coming home. I was the Happiest arriving to Elephantine Island than anywhere else is Egypt.
We stayed in the Guest House called Nuba Dhool. I was very close to the ferry port so not a lot of walking before reaching to the Guest House.
The Museum is a few minutes walk as well. The owner of the place used to come and sit with us every night and organised all our taxi/trips.
