Beni Suef to Qena Getting there & around

Getting around

Wherever possible, try to stick to trains in this part of Egypt. A good network of buses, service taxis and pick-up taxis links towns and villages, but the police may put them off limits to foreigners. If you have to travel by vehicle, armed police may accompany you. If they do, you should try to allow extra time for delays at the checkpoints, where the escort will need to change vehicles.
