FAQs

What is train travel in Egypt like?
Many of our holidays include an overnight sleeper train journey from Cairo - Luxor or Aswan and vice versa. The sleeper train is the highest class of rail travel available in Egypt, though by western standards it would be considered of a moderate standard. Cabins on board the sleeper train are equipped with two bunk beds and fresh linen is supplied. Dinner and breakfast are included within the fare.
There are also VIP train and sitting trains but the quality is less than sleeper train and without dinner and breakfast.
Is it safe to drink tap water in Egypt?
Tap water in Egypt is actually safe to drink but as it is heavily chlorinated we do not recommend that you do as it causes stomach upsets. Bottled mineral water is available in hotels, shops, and restaurants and is inexpensive. Brushing your teeth and showering with tap water in Egypt poses no problem.
The tour price includes admission to all Sightseeing?
Tickets to all the places mentioned in the program are advised to seek what is included and excluded in the program.
