Although Cairo may be an amazing place to visit, there are options for those who want to take in more than one city on their trips.
Aswan, a city famous for its dam in the south of Egypt, is a great place to visit for a more relaxed view of the country.
One travel writer has highlighted that getting to a hotel in Aswan by the night train can be a great experience for kids as well as adults looking for a special way of getting there.
Liz Vercoe, writing for the Telegraph, said: "As the train swung out southwards into the Egyptian night, the children were delighted with the sleeping arrangements: opening cupboards to find wash basins and handtowels, skittling through interconnecting doors and choosing bunks (two to a compartment).
"In the soft dawn light, we looked out on fishermen casting their nets into the shallows of the Nile and kiln-shaped mud houses that bore the protective Eye of Horus, unblinkingly facing the lifeless desert that drifted to the far horizon on the other side of the train."
It proved to be a great success for the family, so why not take in both cities when visiting Egypt, to get a true flavour of the whole country.
