There is a short article on the English (and Dutch) Wikipedia about the Senegal train, and a much longer one in French. Time to dust off my secondary education French... Africa is a big place, so it'd have to be worth it for him to go there. But in South Africa, he could also take the legendary Blue Train. But it's not cheap. I looked it up, and the most luxurious accommodation is around 45,000 Rand. You have to divide by 20 to get the amount in EUR/USD/GBP. €2200 or so might be stretching it a bit. And because he's always talking about "we", you'd have to double that.

I understand it as well, and while I don’t think it’s okay by any means, the tourist prices are still reasonable in relation what most people would be used to from their home country for the same class and distance. I’m Swedish and you can easily pay twice that price for a second class ticket between two major cities here and a journey of a few hours. A one way ticket for me to go to Gothenburg (40 minutes by train) is I think around €9 now or even more and that’s with using the travel card for the regional traffic (you top it up and your ticket prices are discounted when paying with the travel card vs using your phone or bank card to pay for the same trip)

I've ridden the old regular express trains of ENR a lot (the "Spanish" trains as they were confusingly called, not the "Turbini"). The Talgo is definitely a huge improvement and it looks like Ramses station has also had a really deep makeover from when I last saw it - things are definitely finally moving for ENR. They've needed a proper upgrade for a while, and it's great to see they're getting it. Sadly, I think the ride quality and slow speed is symptomatic of the dilapidated state of the track infrastructure. There are supposedly plans for a high speed network underway, but the choices of routes for it seem a tad eccentric to be brutally honest, and I think for now ENR would be best focused on rehabilitating their existing track first of all, or restricting the initial HSR route to Cairo-Alex, rather than the long and economically dubious route from Ain Sokhna to Mersa Matruh.

I do agree that different prices for tourists will impact the attractiveness of this options. Yet, the tourist price is the 'actual' cost' + fair markup for most of this services according government releases. Most of these services, and Oil based products is subsidised by the government, e.g. 1L of premium gasoline in Egypt cost 0.29 Eur vs 1.90 Eur in countries like Germany. This difference comes to from taxpayers' pocket who are not obliged to pay for a non-taxpayer (Tourist). Egypt actually import some of its Oil at international rates, or loose the opportunity to sell its own production at the international rate.

Try going by boat, or Taxi/Uber or take a flight and then tell me how long it would take and the cost would be huge! For a tourist or businessman visiting Egypt once or twice a year the cost is fine...Lastly, they do need new engines.

Maybe it’s a security/convenience fee. If a tourist gets attacked on a train, that’s a national disaster for the tourist industry, so they need extra security for the whole line to keep them safe. And they need English speaking staff around to make sure those tourists don’t get lost. Plus, there’s the assorted tourists who get drunk or graffiti things or ask too many questions about the government, but who can’t be exactly be processed through the normal Egyptian criminal system and need some delicate handling to avoid an international incident. All that special treatment costs money.

Good job video producer....like you said, hope it stays clean, however I heard maintenance crew is outsourced.

Train tickets are subsidized in Egypt for Egyptian citizens so any foreigner pay the original ticket price

Great video and a wonderful experience., honestly I wasn't expecting it to be that straightforward - and I'm happy you neither ended up in jail nor with a confiscated camera 😂
