Getting around in Egypt is very convenient due to the many traveling options that you have, including a well-maintained public transport system.
By Rail
The Egyptian Railway, established in 1851, connects all the major cities of Egypt. The Nile Valley, coastal cities of Suez, Port Said and the northern cities of Alexandria and Mersa are all liked by extensive rail network. The best thing about train travel in Egypt is the cost effectiveness.
By Bus
The major cities of Egypt are linked by luxury coaches. You can also opt for the cheaper non-luxury buses that link cities like Cairo and Alexandria. The buses are run by private operators.
Metro Rail
If you wish to explore Alexandria or Cairo, then the Metro Rail is a good option. This is another cheap option to explore Alexandria and Cairo.
By Ferry
The coastal cities and those standing beside the Nile are linked by regular ferry service. A cruise down the Nile is a good way to see the ancient monuments of Egypt.
