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
