Emilia R1. Arrived an hour earlier than expected. 2. Few people on the bus which allowed passengers to have 2 seats to themselves. Seats were pretty comfortable and in good condition. 3. Wifi didn't work but had access to a great selection of movies. 4. Drive wasn't that smooth. Was abruptly woken up a couple of times due to hard stopping. 5. Overall felt safe on the bus. 6. The man placing the suitcase on the bus asked for 10 Egyptian pounds. Ignored and went on the bus. No other haggling attempts were made.
