First, don’t be impatient because you will be late. That’s just how it is.Second, don’t expect everything to work out easily. Egyptian way, you have to fight for what you want.Review on the train:- Overall pretty good experience. The cabins are nice, spacious enough and confortable. The crew is right there to help and answer your every need.- On the bad side, we didn’t have any electric outlets to charge our phones. With all the delay, we thought we would never make it to the B&B the next day. Also, diner is nice but breakfast could be improved.In my opinion the prices are over exaggerated. We have night trains in France and they are twice cheaper!

The food was nice and all but the train got delayed 14 hours we were supposed to arrive at the train station at 7 AM in the morning but we ended up getting there at 10 PM!!!!!! not to mention that they ran out of food and they told u to leave if we weren’t happy. They also gave us no information on what was going on so this was a terrible experience especially on new years I do not recommend this what so ever! We also got trapped on the train for 34 hours. If I were you I would just take a plane and get it over with because the bathrooms made me wanna throw up and leave.

Took the train from Cairo to Aswan and personally thought it was great! Nice little dinner after departure, comfy beds in the cabin and a friendly chap to get you teas and coffees etc. It was a 13 hour journey that flew by to be honest, I could easily have done a few more hours. Id happily take it again. A bit expensive though at 80 dollars

Not good! Everything is very old and broken. Its filthy aswell, my cabin had cigarette ash in the little storage area next to the bed. And overall very dirty. Food is as basic as it gets: rice, plain vegetables, very dry and blant potatoes and some tahini, not even water. It does get you to your destination, but we also had a two hour delay. All this is to be expected in a developing country, yes, but for 120$ it really needs to be much better. Not recommended, just fly.

Not a bad experience. Price is the same as a flight, but we were burned out from having taken 3 planes in the past week and opted for the train instead.Beds are comfortable enough to sleep, food was edible (airline food quality, but thats what you get), bedding and cabin was clean, bathroom was clean, staff were pleasant. Train left and arrived on time. Also, the tourism police at Ramses station are SUPER friendly. All of Egypt is super friendly.Giving a 4 because its not a top notch train or anything, but it was exactly what was expected and got us where we needed to be.

This train was once the best train in Egypt. After multiple experiences, I can say that the sleeping train 82 is now a dingy lousy train. The cleaning is ignored: the blankets are dirty, the cabinets’ walls are filthy, and there are small insects everywhere, emerging after midnight. Moreover, there is no respect for the schedule. It took 18 hours from Cairo to arrive at Aswan station, whereas it was supposed to take 12 hours.

Been stuck on this train for 11 hours after it was delayed at the station for 7 hours. Woke up thinking we’d arrived to Luxor but we’re still 10 minutes away from the train station the night before. No ones explained what’s going on when I suggested giving a refund the worker told me I shouldn’t have gotten on the train if I wanted a refund. Looks like we have another 24 ahead on this miserable experience of a train. Avoid at all costs.

Aside from the friendly conductors (some of them) and attending staff. The trains interior condition, cabins + bathrooms is really not up to scratch for the price you pay for a ticket. Very old trains, pretty dirty and smelly. One of the attending staff was smoking on board.The driver of the train - shocking experience. Could hardly sleep because every 5 minutes he was slamming on the brakes, causing all luggage to go flying and anything loose to shift. shortly after this, he would get back up to a high speed ( was this guy a taxi driver before??) Terrible driving!

Worst possible! 3 times at least 3 hours late! We lost a flight because of this, No comitment with the passengers. If you have money to fly never use this train service!

The Luxor to Cairo overnight train was an experience that you should only try if that is something you are interested in.The sleeper cart was clean and had everything you might of needed to stay the night except for some tissue. 2 single bunk beds with a sink, mirror، food tray and small storage space. Of course the space is tight considering its a sleeper train you should expect as much. The train also had some rudimentary controls for lighting, AC, and music, however the music switch did nothing and the A/C knob was broken in my cart.The service on the train was super courteous, probably the best part of the train.The food was surprisingly good for a train. I was served steamed vegetables, a bun, chicken, rice, and some small desert snacks. They have drinks and snacks for sale on the cart.( Soft drinks, water, chips, coffee, tea) the prices are roughly 1.5times the prices in town for the same productThe bed was clean and quite firm. They give you 1 pillow and a blanket for a small sized bed. if you are 6 foot and a nice you will bang your head on the top bunk if you sit up all the way.Sleeping on the train is a loud and bumpy experience. The train has constant jerks and bumps that will wake you up or prevent you from sleeping. As well as the loud him from the train can be an issue if you have trouble with noise when you sleep.The bathrooms were gross, wet, with metal toilets that smell like prison toilets. The toilet paper/hand towels run out throughout the night so ensure you have your supply before its gone.

We decided to travel by train due to Egypt Airs bad safety record. What a nightmare. Firstly it was an hour late. Secondly the aircons thermostat doesnt work so its absolutely freezing cold inside the cabin. The stench of fumes and dust inside the cabin - my mom slept with her mask on. The cabin is so cramped and horrible - only really suited to one person. The toilet is disgusting, it doesnt flush but a flap opens up onto the rails. It was really a terrible experience that we couldnt wait to end. Some positives: the staff were very sweet and helpful, the bedding was clean thank heavens, and the view in the morning along the Nile and farms is pretty.

Definitely not worth the money.The cars are old and dirty, especially the bathrooms are very unclean and without soap or toilet paper. Food is substandard.For a fraction of the price (ca. 10USD), you can buy a regular first class ticket with very comfortable reclining seats. Food is also a lot better on the regular train and you might even meet some friendly locals instead of hanging out with a bunch of ripped off tourists.

The train and service was fine, however 80 $ (thats 1300 EGP!) per person is way to much for a small cabine and airplane-like food.I only recommend this train when you dont have much time in Egypt but flying is no option. For all the other travelers: buy some first or second class tickets for a fraction of the price and ride a normal train during the day.

Train is old and often late. Attendants are nice and helpful. Not up to European sleeper standards but better than local train options.

Pricy for foreigners. Small and old cabins, food is average but ok for train food. Train driver on the way back to Cairo drives like crazy and doesnt know how to break. Woke us up several times at night, we freaked out. Train staff extremely friendly and helpful, reason foy 3 stars. Overall, not up to standards, need improvements.

Small compartments. Difficult to stand straight. But the attendant was very amiable and helpful. Good food. Great views on both sides in the morning. Started from Cairo to reach Aswan.

Super small space. Shared bathrooms that usually don’t have toilet paper and aren’t the cleanest. If they want tourism to continue to boom they should consider getting a new updated train.

Enjoyed very much boarding this train from Giza to Aswan. The cabins are comfortable. Clean toilet. Food offered on-board is moderate. The staffs are extremely well mannered and helpful.

So... really glad we did this. But...its hectic and a bit crazy getting on. Buy your tickets online way in advance, they stop selling them at some point. We didnt and had to play dumb Americans so they would sell them to us. $80 pp for a cabin. Its got two tiny pull down beds, a sink, one outlet, includes dinner pp and breakfast pp. A little space for small bags and coats. Cabin attendant is great so tip him.Lots of info below: First in Cairo you go to Ramsis rail station in Giza, Watania was way off on google, we submitted correction. Crazy amount of busses, people, sales/shops, when you feel like its crazy...Youre there. If you didnt buy tickets online and print them...big mistake Once there look for a big building, almost looks like a mosque, but tons of mostly locals with big bags are going in.Once youre in the gates, ignore most of the sales people pretending to work there and go to your right. Its a tiny glass door before you get in and there are actual people to talk to. Option B, not as great, go to a gate two people sitting on chairs in front of it and tell them your destination...if they point you in go to an ATM type machine, click the british flag for English and ...good luck. Ours said sold out. We went back out to the little office mentioned earlier (hidden office) and bought our tickets. Then back inside to our gate. Some tourist may feel uncomfortable but no need to worry, they are nice people there. Anyway the cabin are almost exclusively for tourist.The number tells you which train part, guys guarding doors will look at ticket and help, once inside the door number tells you the rest. The attendant helps with everything! Drinks, soda/water, are SO cheap. Tip! A/C is kind of there haha but good enough. Eat your dinner, sleep, wake up to breakfast 1 hour before your destination. Attendant wakes you with breakfast...TIP.Good luck, better than an uncomfortable bus or HORRIBLE, RISKY, DRIVE. Bathrooms at the end of each side.

Extremely cold inside cabin. The window was blurry so we cant see anything. The train leave the station without delay.

Great serviceYou can sleep all the wayTheres towels and soap even in your cabinThe restrooms are always clean but not well equipped all the time, so have toilet seat covers with you incase they are not availableTheres a cart for the club where you can sit and order drinks

You can get a plane ticket for much cheaper. The train itself is outdated and honestly not worth the steep price. Definitely recommend taking a plane as its a lot more comfortable and less of a pain.

For the 80usd it cost for the sleeper train to luxor it is very poor. The train is incredibly noisy and in poor repair. The free tea and coffee they try charge you for later .

The room is super nasty and definitely not worth it for foreigners. The only charging port in the room for us was not working and they did nothing about this. AVOID THIS MISTAKE OF A TRAIN

Hey everyone ,First of all its my first time to travel from cairo to aswan in a sleeping trainThe space of the room was small and thats ok for a sleeptrainThey used the space really well there is a place for everythingThe bed is comfortable & the view is awesomeThere is also a place for charging your smart phone , hangers for ur clothes , space for your bags away from the ground, a place for a bottle of water beside you & glasses tooIts kinda noisy ofcourseBecause its not that diffrent from normal egyptian trainsThe diffrence is that you are sleeping all way there to your destinationAlso staff are really cheerful , helpful & very friendlyFor dinner they gave us meat with gravy , potatos & riceIts OK for train foodI totally recommend it as an experience it wasnt bad at all

Comfortable sleeper train, we travelled from Cairo to Luxor. Good dinner and decent breakfast included.

Horrible train food is not edible this is not the best way to get to Aswan we both were in so much pain from you constantly being thrown around. Rough ride.save your spine and fly there.

The train is not worth the money. It’s dirty. MORE IMPORTANTLY OT WAS LATE BY SEVERAL OF HOURS. Waste of time for tourists!

The train took 5 extra hours and there was no notice or apology! Avoid this mistake

Excellent experience in sleeping trainI liked and would do it again soon as possible when I visit Egypt

The train was so so late for arrival. Completely unacceptable

Food quality is not very good also cabins condition

Best train you can ride in Egypt

First it is not worth the money at allIt is expensive for such a dirty train 🚂

Great fast train which you can set you watch by

🤨

Nice night train

Better than expected

Although the room is spacious, the bed is super hard, it gets very cold at night and they only give you a very thin quilt. The toilets dont work and they suck. The train arrives late and the arrival time is about 5 hours late. This would be my last option if what I want is comfort and arriving on time… the food is not great… and there is no way to sleep because of the noise

Train 82 sleepThe sounds of the kenya are very annoyingfood is acceptableThe toilets are very badThe driver has a very rigid brake, I woke up more than onceThe vibrations are so stiffThe overall experience is very bad, and we hope to develop the service more

The service, for the first time, was excellent, but the train took ten hours from Cairo to Nag Hammadi, while the regular train took it in seven hours. Unfortunately, I was bored with the length of time.

The most luxurious train of Egypt. The comfort is minimalist, the meals hearty and good without being gastronomic, the berths simple but acceptable. An experience to live once in your life ...

This is the sleep train reservation office

We will not talk about the delay of the train by two hours and three hours.We will not talk about the prices of tickets that were boiled to develop the trains, however the cabin has many broken needs and hours for some windows that leak air ...And I will not talk about the terrible shower that comes out of all the pieces of the room and it is floundering, some ...But you will talk about the most important thing, as the diameter is the bathWorse than the worst public bath in the world .. There are no tissues and no soap or soap in the first place .. The bidet followed the bathroom, O the handle is overwhelming, the water is weak, it is not working in the first place, besides the bad smell and the cleaning is not availableThe country is blessed, I rest from the bus like sleeping, for the long road, but a terrible experience, I would not wish to repeat it, especially for the bathrooms I saw.

A new and amazing experience

A very nice

Unfortunately, there is no maintenance inside the cabin, although it is tourist sleep, but the lights do not work and there is no water in the bathroom.

Please do not ride... First of all, the staff at the train station are also very unfriendly and delayed for more than an hour and a half... I really regret taking this money for the ride.

The 84 tourist sleeper train did not arrive at the Giza station on the date specified in the ticket, which is 19/40, and therefore the time moved at 20/34, that is, about 54 minutes later, without justification, in the event that the Giza station did not arrive until 21/15, the breakfast meal did not reach us in addition to the poor condition of the cabin, which mostly all its components are disassembled Consequently, disturbing voices occur that cannot be tolerated. That was today Wednesday 6/13/202080, and the food tables are broken. I hope this complaint will reach the head of the authority.

First and most important thing. There is fraud in advertising that is online and vehicles are shabby and need to be replaced. Online offerings are new vehicles, only 3 Arabs. Unfortunately, they are only reserved for patronage. Toilets are very dirty and there is no soap as if they were public toilets

The rooms were not refurbished and the trains were poor

It is clean and caring

Very bad, worn out train and noisy noise in the cabinAnd very bad services

The splendor of the splendor.....

Very nice

Nightmares Khourdah Balzoukh nuts working headache

I used to travel often, today’s flight 2/3. I decided to travel by sleeper train from Cairo, but I found excellent service, cleanliness, beautiful food, elegance, tact, and taste from the car supervisor 11 on the sleeper train No. 82. Professor Nazih is in charge of the car. Managing the sleeping carriages to look beautiful inside carriage 11 of the 82 train today
