End of Services

Train/Flight?

Although a lot of people like going on the trains to experience Egypt please note that the trains are the local trains (Same as South African overnight trains here in South Africa and not Blue Train or Rovos Rail standards). We book the 1st class compartments but they are very basic, the cabins are small, with small wash basin, sharing communal toilet, and the food is very basic. If you are a single person you might be sharing your compartment with somebody else as there must be 2 people per compartment. If you rather want to fly instead of go on the train ask us for a quote.
