We have some acquaintances that have invited us to visit with them in Minia. I am told I can take a 3 hr train ride from Cairo. Is this a safe area? Now what I mean is as safe as any other, Çairo, Luxor, Abu Simbal, etc.? also need to find the train schedule appreciate your comments and assistance.

Minya is as safe as any other area in Egypt. You might have guards follow you around but it's pretty secure. In the past this was a hotbed for Islamist groups like Gama'a Islamiyya. Not anymore.
