    Good day in Luxor

    The train journey was with dinner. Had adjoining rooms with a connecting door so was good for us. The train could be cleaner especially the toilets. The actual tour of Luxor was with Salwa from Emo Tours Egypt. She is an Egyptologist so was very knowledgeable about the history of all the sites we visited. The restaurant she took us to for lunch served excellent food. Overall a very good day at Luxor. All organised via Viator and Emo tours.

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer I would like to thank you for this review and for your positive points of view . The most important thing of our company is the comfort and enjoyment of the customer during his tour and while in Egypt . We hope you will be back in Egypt again to visit more charming places . Thank you again . Best regards Emo Tours Egypt

    Great, great, beautiful.

    Very good time in Cairo. I've been with the guide Mamddouh kamal. He speaks very good French. Friendly, friendly and knows the history of Egypt. I was able to visit the Nile by boat, the market, the museum, the famous pyramids and the awesome camel tour. Superb day with Mamddouh. I recommend guides for Francophones.

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you so much for your kind words, We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us .We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

    Great experience

    We had great experience with Emo tour. They really made our trip worth it. First we booked dinner cruise and we met Engy she was our tour guide for that night. Really sweet girl we felt really comfortable talking to her. After meeting her we decided to book rest of our tours with Emo. Then we booked over night trip to Luxor from Cairo. We had Ahmed who picked us up from the hotel to drop us to the train station, really nice guy spoke well English made us feel comfortable. He made sure we were safe he stayed with us till we sat inside the train. When we reached Luxor we met Zidan. He really made our trip to Luxor worth it. We can’t thank him enough for everything he did for us. Zidan and the driver both were really friendly and they made sure we were enjoying and comfortable. And we did another trip with Emo it was the old Cairo city tour again we had great time. I will defiantly recommend Emo tour for all the tourist, they are really good and safe to explore places with.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, It was so awesome of you to post the excellent review about your holiday with us. we wanted you to know that we truly enjoy working with you and feel honored to be your chosen Tour Company in Cairo thanks to your vision and commitment. We will always treasure that experience. We deeply appreciate your feedback and we look forward to seeing you again in Egypt. Thank You ! Best Regards, Emo Tours Egypt

    Luxor to Cairo

    As a family of 2+2 I was looking for the best way to travel to Alexandria (via Cairo) from Luxor. Air fares were going crazy (5000 pounds per person) so train was only option for this 12 hours plus journey. I took the ‘BERTINI’ from Luxor train station at 23:00 hours and reached Cairo at 9:00 am. I had Booked 4 seats in VIP parlour. There is no need to book a berth or a bed cabin since parlour Seats are recline and very comfortable to sleep on. It cost me just 117 pounds per person.

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you so much for your kind words, We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us .We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

    Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train cost?

    +

    Prices start at $265 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Top Day Tour To Cairo By Sleeping Train start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
