Premium Lounge Service Launches on Cairo–Alexandria Rail Line

Egypt’s National Railway Authority is rolling out a new “Premium Lounge” service on the Cairo–Alexandria line starting August 21, 2025, aboard trains 905 and 916, just in time for one last summer weekend in Alexandria.

Travellers can kick off their trip in air-conditioned station lounges with hospitality services and digital screens, before boarding trains fitted with roomier, more comfortable seating. Tickets are available through approved apps, online platforms, or directly at the station.

Premium Lounge passengers also get a 10% discount at retail outlets in Cairo and Sidi Gaber stations.
