Travel Tip: Left Luggage in Cairo

3 stars
Published on Feb 7, 2008 by AliJo for Cairo

I had a very difficult time trying to find a left luggage office in a train station in Cairo. My husband and I had to check out of our hotel in Giza at midday, and we had to wait till 11pm to catch our overnight train to Luxor, which leaves from Giza station. We assumed that there would be a left luggage office at Giza station, but we were wrong! After some searching, we finally found a left luggage office at Ramses main station. It turned out to be quite a hassle to transport the luggage from Giza into the centre of Cairo, and then back to Giza again to catch our train. If you are already in central Cairo, then leaving luggage at Ramses station is a good option; the left luggage office in Ramses station is dirty but secure. But if you're not already in central Cairo, I would recommend asking your hotel to keep your luggage for you and paying the necessary fee to avoid the inconvenience.
