Full description

Take a convenient sleeping train from Cairo to Aswan or to Luxor and back with a guaranteed reservation. Your accommodation on the train includes dinner and breakfast the next day. First, book your tickets and receive them at your hotel when you arrive in Egypt. On the day of travel, head to the station at least 30 minutes before your departure time. At Giza Station, there are a few small shops to buy snacks or water, as well as a small restaurant. On the platform, the small numbers hanging from the platform canopy indicate the approximate location of the wagons. So, if you are in Wagon #6 on your ticket, line up by the #6 sign. Wait for the green and white-colored sleeping train to arrive which has the words 'Sleeping Car' stenciled on the side. Board the train and find your accommodation. Enjoy the comfortable 10 to 13-hour journey with dinner and breakfast served. Feel the satisfaction of waking up in an entirely new region of Egypt, refreshed and ready to begin the next portion of your trip.

Well, the train is old and the rooms are seedy. The real train costs 85 dollars and here they charge €100 and the difference is that they take your tickets wherever you want. I recommend buying the bills on the official website, which is exactly the same, only here they adorn it more

The only problem I had was not knowing when I would get my hands on my tickets. I kept writing until the agency in Cairo got in touch via WhatsApp. I got the tickets brought to the hotel. The train ride was great. Train clean and security at the station took care of us and the other foreigners. Food on the train was ok too. Schafner a nice unobtrusive person. A nice experience.

The night train Cairo Aswan is a must.. To do absolutely. The local agency with which get your guide works had a delay in delivering the tickets to our hotel but get your guide ensured via the hot line by being reachable immediately and very responsive. Thank you very much For this activity, know that the local agency must have your passports by Whatsapp or email. They can't book otherwise. The train leaves from Giza. I don't regret going through get your guide. Very convenient
