Egypt Bus Timetables - Egypt Transport
Public transport network in Egypt is well-developed and the service is good. Travelers to Egypt are free to travel without any restrictions except having travel permit when travelling through the desert. There is an efficient rail network linking the Nile Valley, Delta and Canal Zone, and elsewhere you can travel easily enough by bus. Most cities in Egypt have a well developed bus system, but travelers mostly use them in Cairo and Alexandria. The buses are not considered very visitor-friendly as most of the signboards and information boards read messages only in Arabic language.
The three major bus companies that operate in Egypt are all based in Cairo. The names of these companies are the Upper Egypt Bus company that operates in Nile Valley, Fayoum, inner oases and the Red Sea Coast down to El-Quseir. Second is the East Delta Bus Company which offers services in Sinai and the Canal Zone. The third one is the Middle Delta Bus Company whose buses offer regular services in Alexandria, Mersa Matrouh, Siwa and the Nile Delta.
Another firm that works independently is El Gouna which offers bus service from Cairo to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Most buses that operate in Egypt are air conditioned and fast. While when taking a local bus for short distance you might need to travel in a non-ac bus. Then there are super jet buses as well which have air-conditioners, toilets, videos and expensive snacks. Most cities in Egypt have a single bus depot but in cities like Cairo and Alexandria you can find many. Finding English and French speaking staff is not difficult but the schedules are usually displayed in Arabic only. Bus information can be easily obtained from hotels in Sinai and the oases, and tourist offices in Luxor, Aswan and the oases.
When buying tickets at the bus terminals, the same can be booked 24 hours in advance for long-haul services or air conditioned buses. In the provinces, meanwhile tickets booking can be done an hour or so before departure, or on the bus itself in the case of through services, which are often standing-room only when they arrive. Passengers on a/c services are usually assigned a seat, but seats on “local” buses are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Fares are very reasonable for bus travel in the country.
The Micro bus
Different from the usual buses, when travelling in Egypt, you can find the 14 seated minivans here which are referred as Microbus. Travelers do not find them very easy to use as these are unmarked. Taking this bus is easiest at their starting point – usually a major square or intersection in a city, where the drivers will be shouting their end destination. Passengers are allowed to take off at any point between the journeys. The driver can be paid when you are getting off the bus. In Cairo, you might think to use a microbus to get to the Pyramids, while in Alexandria these shuttle the length of Tariq al-Horreyya and the Corniche to Montazah. In Sharm el-Sheikh these carry passengers between Old Sharm, Na’ama Bay and Shark’s Bay.
