The author, eager to explore and share impressions of the country, acknowledges the complexity of Egypt's political issues but opts to focus on his personal experiences instead.

The narrative unfolds as the author travels by train through lush landscapes, remarking on the rapid modernization of Cairo and the mix of Eastern and Western cultures that characterize the city.
