FAQs About Egypt

Can I travel by train from Cairo to Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh?
No, the railway service in Egypt does not cross the Suez Canal to reach any cities in Sinai, and it does not go further south than Ismailia along the Red Sea coast. Apart from airplanes, tourists can take buses from Cairo to reach cities like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada. It is also possible to hire a private car or taxi, which can be cost-effective with travel companions.
