Expert Info

Hi guys

I'm relocating to Egypt from the UK at the end of the year and would like to know what the public transport is like in the country. I think it would be fine in Cairo where I'm living, but what about getting from city to city?

Are there trains and buses etc? Or would I need a car?

Any comments would be a big help.

Thanks

Hi Sally

Public transport in Egypt is relatively good, you should be able to take a train, bus or domestic flight between most cities in Egypt. You can even travel by boat along the Nile River. It is not necessary to have a car to travel in Egypt, in fact, driving in Egypt can be a rather stressful experience.

For more information about how to get around Egypt have a look at this page on Transport and driving in Egypt.

I hope this helps.

Egypitian buses have a terrible safety record...I'd be careful of travelling long distance on one!
