Giza to Aswan Destination Reviews

CJ

I traveled with my son from Cairo to Aswan with the sleeper train and it was a very nice experience. My son slept nearly the entire duration of the trip and I also had a good night sleep. The train arrived a couple hours later than the itinerary, but I calculated that into my trip. Recommendable for adventurous people.

Train portion was good, but the organization to get the tickets was really bad, Even if I had electronic tickets, hard tickets were requied. I had to meet an unknown man at the train station, organisation was complicated with e-mails, several, then he gave me me my tickets and then asked me «  where is my tip », incredible, it was a bad expérience.

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

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.
