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.

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.
