Sleeping Train

Tickets were sold for luxury cabin and we had a shit hole of a cabin that stank like cigarettes and some staled smell. Also we got ripped off with the ticket price when we found out from the locals that it only costed half the price.

Journey was comfortable, however the interior of berths are heavily worn out

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.

Was good service from Abela overall. The station was tough to get to with lots of traffic and our driver originally sent us to ramses. The operator for our car was great. He did a fantastic job.

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.

Booking with 12GO costs you almost $100 more than the actual ticket price of $150! Complete rip-off, go to the train station and book your ticket there (as a foreigner I couldn’t book through the official Abela m website)!

We were waiting for our tickets from ABELA , we had meet inside and he brought a tickets a little bit late But was okay. Why after we bought a tickets online we did not get our tickets already? Why we need to wait people from agency to bring our tickets ? We were a little bit panick because when we came inside a men controlled a tickets and we showed our booking number. We didn’t understand system there.
