there were 2 long breaks (each approx 30 min) and in addition traffic jam. So the bus arrived 90 min late at Alexandria.

I booked online but I couldn't get the Tickets on my mobile. I had also to call which was first possible the next day. When we went to the station we had to get physical tickets. But it was not clear where we would get them. The Tourist Police charged us another 20 Pounds to get them
