Aswan to Cairo Destination Reviews

The bus reached 8.30am instead of 6am scheduled time. There was a 2 hour halt at Luxor. There was also stink from toilet for back seaters. The overall condition of the bus is poor.

We had a long pause at Luxor. The last hours were very cold, maybe it's normal, because there is no heating in the bus? Or the air conditionnwas put so high?

Bus was uncomfortable, left the point late, stopped for 2 hours without any explanation. If you seat by the window just know the AC is going to be blasting in your face and you can’t turn it off.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Aswan and Cairo, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
