Train/railroad system in Egypt

Hello from Mexico, I will travel to Egypt and I need more info about the train system/timetables running to/from North/south. Is it eassy to get from downtowns to the train stations? I read somewhere there is a train with single beds? Is there a website? Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much, I will check it out, have you travel in this train?? from where to where? was a good experience? did u like it? I think this can be something real cotidiane in a person who live3s in Egypt. Thank you again.

actually i traveled to the countryside place called bani suef
but i didn't go by the sleeping train or the expensive one
i went by normal train
and for me it's good
i went from dawahy el giza to el wasta in bani suef

any question else?

Hey John, add me to your messenger msn: [email protected] or yahoo ID haydiassaf. Is there a train with bed to travel during the night?

Is it truth that I need a police escort to go south Egypt?WHy?

Thank you.
