Arriving in Cairo by Train

Why go

Train travel connects Cairo with other major Egyptian cities and can suit a trip that continues toward Alexandria, Luxor or Aswan. Ramses Station is a central Cairo rail landmark, while some services use Giza. The distinction matters: arriving at the wrong station can turn a simple onward journey into a cross-city transfer.

Useful to know

• Confirm the departure or arrival station shown on the current ticket; do not assume every train uses Ramses Station.
• Check the train's stopping pattern when choosing between a major-city service and a local one.
• Plan onward travel from the named station before you arrive.
