Egypt's railway system has over 5,000km of track, connecting almost every major city and town. Timetables are generally reliable, although the system itself is in need of some modernisation.
First-class rail travel is either by wagon-lit, which has air-conditioning, hot and cold running water in each sleeper compartment and a full meal service; or by first-class seated accommodation. Second-class travel is divided into two sub-sections: with or without air-conditioning. Third-class travel is extremely basic, very cheap and can be crowded. |

Egyptian Railways are easily the best way to travel between Cities Such as Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, Port Said & Suez. The views from the train can be wonderful, especially on the Cairo-Luxor-Aswan and Cairo-Alexandria routes.
Trains are modern and comfortable with 1st and 2nd class plus refreshments. Ordinary trains are slower and much less comfortable, with 2nd and 3rd class non-air-conditioned. A few trains also have 2nd class air-conditioned.Hbook
Usually You can buy tickets at the railway station booking office when you get to Egypt, although as this is Egypt, a degree of patience is called for... Cairo main station has several booking windows, one for each class and group of destinations, so check that you are joining the right queue.

You can pay for train tickets in Egyptian pounds, except for the deluxe Abela Egypt sleeper which must be paid in foreign currency (dollars, euros or pounds sterling).
Alternatively, if you can use a local travel agent to buy tickets on your behalf.
This will save you lots of hassle and bassle Except during busy holiday periods, it's not normally too difficult to get 1st class tickets on the day of travel or the day before. |
