The same distance between Cairo and Mallawi by the Russian train was fantastic ❤️I tried the Russian train last year after launching out on October 2020.. The toilets were clean and modern.. above each toilet two lamps, Green and Red.. Green means empty and Red means busy. Clean windows, Hooks to hold your private stuffs...but the only problem was the uncomfortable seats, plus, the design of seats like face to face meeting 😁... Anyhow ... perfect Video as usual 🤠
I took the train from Cairo to Minya last week 😄. However strangely when buying the tickets ONLINE, choices are very limited. The schedule shows many trains, but actually booking them... choices are limited. (Example from Sohag to Luxor there are many trains on the schedule, but you can only book 2 trains : 8am or 8pm. Or you can look at the train number on the schedule and buy a cairo-luxor ticket, those are plenty. )
I have read that foreign tourist are not allowed to take VIP trains, only sleeper trains. Is that true? Thank you so much for your video, really helpful. You are a very nice guy :)!!
Can you take a train from Aswan to Cairo by train? Where do I book it and how much does it cost? any good website. As I need a train from Aswan to Cairo. Many thanks.
great video, thank you! do you think its safe and easy to travel through Egypt with a carry on luggage (so not a backpack)? I will travel to multiple cities by train, taxi or plane. First from Cairo to Aswan (probably by plane), then ill stay in Aswan in a hostel or cheap hotel. Then i will travel up to Luxor (taxi or train) and stay there for a bit, and then back up to Cairo (taxi or train). After that I will be in Dahab a month (plane or train)
Excellent and informative video, thanks! I have purchased my Aswan to Luxor AC1 ticket online. Do I need to exchange the printed confirmation at the station when I arrive at Aswan, or can I board the train with the printed ticket from the ENR website?
If by public transport you mean bus - not at all; there used to be a law regarding foreigners going to Aswan with nothing but overnight train - but it has been abolished anyway.
