We were waiting for our tickets from ABELA , we had meet inside and he brought a tickets a little bit late But was okay. Why after we bought a tickets online we did not get our tickets already? Why we need to wait people from agency to bring our tickets ? We were a little bit panick because when we came inside a men controlled a tickets and we showed our booking number. We didn’t understand system there.

Our ticket said each passenger was allowed 2 medium bags or one large bag, but when the worker was tagging our bag to put into the bus he required 50 Egyptian pound per bag. Not sure why. Of course this is cheap enough, but an unexpected cost. Luckily we had cash. Otherwise it was good. Arrived on time to pick us up and made it to destination on time.
