Nevertiti
Luxurious carriages that may be appended to a train. It has compartments, each has 6 comfortable seats. Its fare is heigher than the first three types.

Luxurious trains that runs only between Cairo and Luxor/Aswan. The ENR sleeping trains are operated by a private company called ABELA.

Ordinary
Only 2'nd and 3'rd classes (not air-conditioned). Stops at villages and centers. Tickets are issued directly at the station with no prior reservation.

The site covers only the first three types where most of the ENR traffic exist. Following is a simple comparison between the capabilities of the first three types:

ADVICE When you query or reserve on a train, the TRAIN NUMBER is your key. Also the reserved ticket has the Wagon and Seat numbers printed on it.
