Traveling with
Egyptian National Railways
It was a very Egyptian experience. Overall enjoyable but be prepared for 1970’s era trains. We had a problem with our tix due to no hard copy. After a call with our agent it was solved.
Die Reise begann eine Stunde später, es kam aber keine weitere Verspätung dazu. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht durchgehend, aber oft. Die Toiletten waren wie in Europa vor 50 Jahren. Man konnte durchgehend (Fahrzeit 10h) Kaffee, Wasser, Tee und Snacks kaufen. Insgesamt eine schöne Bahnreise, freundliches Personal, große Sessel (1. Klasse), großer Beinabstand. Eine Buchung 2. Klasse würde ich aufgrund des Zustandes der Wagen nicht empfehlen.
Relaxed trip to Luxor
Did a last minute Aswan to Luxor journey with their help. Service and price was spot on. Well done Bookaway team!
We had a nice trip, everything went well also thanks to the Tourist Police.
The train departed almost in time and arrived at Luxor on time. The onboard staff were very helpful. The hot evening meal was filling and reasonably tasty. I slept very well, but then again I always do and I’m happy to sleep on trains. Beds were comfortable and clean. Obviously very old rolling stock with windows that need cleaned. Convenient way to get from central title to Luxor.
