Cairo到Luxor

Booking process through bookaway was very straight forward. I had one question on my booking that i asked online and i received a personalized answer in.less than 1 hour. As my specific booking (sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor) required an actual paper ticket, I had to collect it at the train station. Again the communication with the agent was fast and accurate and we collect our tickets very easily. All good! The train ride itself is good: noisy and shaking as.expected, but very comfortable sleeper cabin and a very nice agent to assist you during the trip.

Our experience with bookaway was great. The booking was simple, paying too. The ticket for the train Cairo to Luxor was ready to pick up in Ramses station. The reell ticket was a small blue paper with arabic signs. For our information only the number of the traincarriage and the seats. But, take enough time in Ramses station! The man, who had the ticket isn't easy to find. Ask at the information! We did not take the train on Ramses station, but on Giza Station. It is very simple, because there is only one track. A little money helps anyway. The train itself was no european 1.class! But the legs had enough space, the suitcases too. A man with a trolley sells something to drink and from time to time he offered something to eat. The toilet is a problem, especially for women. Don't forget disinfectant wipes. The arriving time on bookaway is wrong!! Not 16:15pm, it's impossible! The train startet in Cairo at 8 am and arrives in Luxor at 7 pm. Our train was punctual, very good.

Every one was helpful in getting me on the right train and the journey was good except took 4 hrs longer than was expecting

A good way to explore the endless Green Nile valley

Train was pretty good. It was on time. It's impossible to sleep on the train because they keep the lights on and that's probably for safety reasons but other than that it's nice. You can charge your phone and order some food for 165 pounds. However know that you are paying 25% more if you just went to the station and bought the same ticket there.
