Alexandria to Cairo Destination Reviews

MD
The bus was comfortable, departed and arrived on time, but the service was not great, the service boy put my bag to the bus and asked for money for this, also there was no water no snacks on thr bus but I purchased the ticket with this option

The location was easy to find. You can easily see the buses with the Go Bus logo. The trip went very well, quite fast. The seats are very comfortable. The person putting the luggage in the hold will insistently ask you for a tip. On the other hand, I had taken the Delite package with food. Nothing was served. And no wifi either. Take the simple formula, and you'll save a few euros.
