Booking the Night Train online

Booking the night train in Egypt online is hard! whether you are a seasoned internet user or a novice. This is because the official website for Egypt’s sleeper trains is not maintained or updated. Booking the night train from Cairo to Luxor or Aswan is included in a tour package; for booking the night train in Egypt, contact a local person to purchase it for you in advance; otherwise, you will have to purchase the tickets yourself after you are in Egypt.

In Egypt, sleeper trains run from Cairo to Aswan or Luxor and vice versa, saving you money on a one-night hotel stay. Each wagon contains ten cabins, each with two mattresses, a cold and hot water tap, two towels, soap, two pillows, and air conditioning. When you board the train, you will discover chairs in your cabin but no beds.

At 8:00, 8:30, or 9:30 p.m., the conductor will serve you a cooked supper meal of rice, meat, chicken, or fish, salads or yogurts, and vegetables, and then he will prepare your beds.

Breakfast will be given to you in the early morning before you arrive, consisting of butter, bread, cheese, jam, olives, and tea or coffee. In general, the Egyptian night train is comparable to a four-star hotel in terms of cuisine, cleanliness, and amenities. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The Official Website

The official website of Abela Trains Company in Egypt offers the possibility to book online; however, most of the time, it doesn’t proceed to the final stage and complete the booking process, and it will end up with an error message that says “No Trips Available.”

Good but did not get what I paid for…
