Hi all,
I would like to ask this question here, hoping for a useful answer :)
I would like to ask some information about hotels and trains and
reservations.
I will arrive the 16th very early in the morning in Cairo, and would
like a cheap hotel near the airport or main train station (assuming
there is a good connection to that station from the airport) to sleep
a few hours *before* I head to Alexandria by train.
* Does anyone know what ho(s)tel would be good for this? (note: I
arrive 2 am at the air port, and just want 5'ish hour of sleep, and
being tired, it should be very good to find :) )
* Do I have to make reservations, and what will it roughly cost me?
* Do I have to make reservations for the fast train service to
Alexandria from Cairo, is it hard to get on board, how do I get
tickets?
* How far is it from the Alexandria station to the dorms?
* What time can we drop off stuff in the dorms?
After Wikimania, I would like to travel around a bit, going after two
days or so to Luxor by the night train. First I want to stay one or
two nights in Cairo.
* Does anyone know a ho(s)tel that is good for this? (not too
expensive, not per se next to the station)
* Again: do we have to make reservations?
* For the night train, do we have to make reservations?
We would like to stay in Luxor for one or two days, and one or two
days in Aswan.
*Again, is there a nice ho(s)tel here, price, reservations?
Thanks a lot, and I owe you a stroopwafel if you can help me out!
Best regards,
Lodewijk
