The Egyptian prices have changed recently. A return flight Cai/Lux/Cai is about 580LE if you book one or two days before. If you book a week before you will get it a bit cheaper. Instead of just the two classes before Ecom and C Class there are five classes. Depending on when you book. Egypt Air are tighter on their tickets now. You must have a resident visa for 5 years to take the local price or produce your work permission certificate. The tourist rate is still the same.

The trains are available all the time. Someone I know travelled on the sleeping train and said it was ok US$ 50. one way.

Are there one way tickets sold for the sleeping trains? I'd be looking for Cairo-Luxor.

Do they call them sleeping trains because it is an overnight trip or do the cars actually have beds?
