Hi, I am trying to find info on booking a train from Luxor to Aswan. The official website seems to be down at the moment. I definitely do not want to do a sleeper train. Does anyone know about how much a morning trip between these two cities would cost? Is there another website that would be useful to get more information about the trains?

There are a few trains going from Luxor to Aswan. You can only take 1st class train (as I was told by the station staff). I took a 5pm train that costed 41EGP but it was 1 hour late and I arrived at Luxor at around 10pm. The train station is a riot so be prepared to spend some time waiting in line, with some locals jumping the queue.

www.seat61.com/Egypt.htm has times and fares for Egypt, including this route.
You cant travel on the 2nd and 3rd class slow trains, but should be able to use the 1st & 2nd class expresses or the sleeper trains (in day mode).
