About Abela Trains

The Rail Journey Through Egypt

Abela Trains brings a different dimension to travelling through Egypt. Operating the country's iconic overnight sleeper train services, Abela connects Cairo with Luxor, Aswan and the cities of Upper Egypt, transforming the journey itself into part of the experience.

Settle into your private sleeper cabin as the train leaves Cairo behind and follows the Nile Valley south. Dinner and breakfast are served onboard, while the changing landscapes of Egypt unfold beyond your window. For an elevated experience, selected journeys also offer Club Car dining.

For the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse, Abela and Amisol Travel Egypt have come together to create the Eclipse Express, a collection of specially designed rail journeys leading to the heart of the eclipse path in Luxor.

Rather than rushing between airports, travel through Egypt at the pace of the railway.

Sleep in Cairo. Wake up in Upper Egypt. Journey by rail to totality.

Tour Operator Testimonial

Hear from a tour operator partner about the experience of travelling with Abela and why the Eclipse Express is a standout way to reach the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse.

Onboard the Abela Elite Sleeper

A hotel on rails through the Nile Valley

For generations, the overnight sleeper between Cairo and Upper Egypt has been the classic way to travel south. Abela's Elite Sleeper continues that tradition with modern comfort — and it forms the backbone of every Eclipse Express programme.

Private sleeper cabins

Each evening your comfortable seat converts into a proper berth inside your own private, air-conditioned cabin — wash basin, fresh linen and space to unwind as Egypt glides past the window.

Onboard dining & hospitality

Dinner and breakfast are served by Abela's attentive onboard team, drawing on decades of catering experience across Egypt. Hot meals, Egyptian flavours and genuine warmth come as standard.

The romance of the rails

Fall asleep in Cairo and wake to sunrise over the Nile Valley. Travelling south by rail turns the journey itself into part of the eclipse experience — unhurried, atmospheric and unforgettable.

Arrive rested for totality

No dawn airport queues, no domestic flight stress. You step off the train close to the temples and our private eclipse viewing venue, rested and ready for the moment daylight turns to darkness.

Partners & Travellers

Trusted on the rails to totality

“Our clients boarded in Cairo as travellers and stepped off in Luxor as storytellers. The sleeper train turned a transfer into the highlight of the whole programme — flawless coordination from the Amisol team on the ground.”

“Watching the Nile Valley roll past my cabin window at sunrise, coffee in hand, is a memory I will keep forever. The cabin was spotless, the crew wonderful, and the eclipse organisation absolutely first class.”

Margaret H.

Eclipse Traveller, United Kingdom

“Abela's hospitality is the real thing — proper meals, friendly service and cabins that make overnight rail genuinely comfortable. For groups, it is by far the smoothest way to move between Cairo and Upper Egypt.”
