Frequently Asked Questions About Trains in Egypt
How do I book a train ticket in Egypt?
Train tickets in Egypt can be booked online via the ENR website enr.gov.eg or its app, at station ticket counters (cash), at self-service machines (TVM) in major stations, at Fawry outlets, or via hotline 1661. Cancellations apply to online bookings only before departure with a fee; missed trains result in automatic forfeiture with no refund.
How can I check train ticket prices before travelling?
The easiest way to check Egyptian train ticket prices is to search directly on this site: select your departure and arrival stations and all available trips with per-class fares will appear. You can also enquire at station counters or on the ENR website enr.gov.eg.
Are there discounted train tickets and who qualifies?
Egyptian National Railways offers discounts to seniors over 60, people with disabilities and companions, cancer patients, children under 12 (half price), military and police officers, journalists, and railway employees — available exclusively at station ticket counters with official documentation, not through online booking or Fawry.
What are the main Egyptian railway lines?
Egyptian National Railways, founded in 1854, is Africa's oldest railway spanning 5,600 km and carrying 800 million passengers annually. Major lines include Cairo–Alexandria (37 daily trains), the Upper Egypt line to Aswan via Minya, Asyut, Sohag, and Luxor, plus the Delta, Canal, and North Coast lines — most originating from Ramses Station in Cairo.
Where does the site data come from and is it accurate?
Egypt Trains is independent and not affiliated with ENR. Data comes from the timetables published by Egyptian National Railways and is automatically updated with verification algorithms. Coverage includes 660+ stations, 858+ trains, and 90% price coverage. Always check the station board before travel as last-minute schedule changes can occur.
