Dear Ahmed and Akash, Sorry but I have a small clarification, the station's name is Sidi Gaber and not sidi beshr, and I would recommend this station which is the first station that the turbene train stops at in Alexandria, as it's much easier to find Taxis from there
Thank You
Best Regards, Nada Rady

Hi,
look, alexandria has only 2 stations that the train will stop at
which are Mahattet masr (Mahattet el Raml), and Sidy beshr
check that map, it shows the places of teh hotels from the bib alex
http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hotels-Alex.jpg
the thing is, sidy beshr station is a bit after bib alex (to the right)
and mahattet masr is a bit before (to the left),, so, u can say, bib alex and all the surrounding hotels are in the middle, so it doesn't actually matter which station you will drop in, try looking in wikimapia or google maps to check the exact place of both of em, but I assure you both are almost as far from the bib as each other
so you only have to drop down, get a taxi and tell him, delta hotel, or (Fondok el Delta) in arabic
and at teh hotel, you should find a room reserved by the name you registered with...
check the email in the mailing list with the subject "Shuttle related questions", you should find more answers about it, specially in the reply "mido" sent

Hi.
I am coming to Alexandria from Cairo taking a Turbine train. The train leaves Cairo at 7pm and reaches Alexandria at 9pm. Could someone tell me which station do I get off at (if the train us going to stop at more than 1 station in Alexandria). Also, my accommodation is at Hotel Delta. How do I reach Delta from the station. And will there be Wikimania volunteers at Hotel Delta to guide me.
