hi there,

If you are thinking to travel across Egypt, I would suggest traveling at night to save time. You can take a sleeper train which will save you the cost of a hotel room for the night.

Also, Egypt trains are certainly more comfortable than buses but it is always a good idea to make reservations in advance, though trains are plentiful; trains from Cairo to Alexandria, for example, leave every hour.

If on a budget, taking a bus in Egypt is the most affordable way to travel around the country. If you are departing from Cairo, you will have many options for taking a bus in Egypt to other tourist destinations.

Tourist buses are traditionally air conditioned and reasonably comfortable. Popular destinations for buses include Luxor, Alexandria, El Gouna, and Hurghada.
