I want to visit Aswan in a few weeks. Is it better to come by bus or train?

to Qena it will take 9 hours. So to Aswan much longer!
You can check the website of Egyptair, but from the start make sure you put your country as Egypt, than you have much better prices!

Cairo

Train if ur budget is small , Bus is risky and slow and long way but ofcourse u get to see many area's that u travel through , train is faster/safe abit but can get boring abit if u travel alone , and if ur in cairo/alexanderia better take the sleeping train
