Aswan Dam?

Does ER have a station on the upstream side of Aswan Dam which would link directly with any ferries going to Sudan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabletop (talkcontribs) 21:03, August 26, 2006‎

touregypt.net deletions

edit

The reference links to touregypt.net have been removed and the link site was blacklisted. However touregypt.net provides valuable documentation to the article and its removal leaves the article with unsubstantiated assertions and dead links. See discussion here to have the link reinstated: [1]. Ekem 18:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Historical note

edit

Egypt was the second country worldwide to have railways after Britain. And the first in Africa of course. [2] Mohamed Magdy, Thank You! (talk) 08:02, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

According to Wikipedia's own article "Timeline of railway history", Egypt was the first country in Africa and the Middle East to have a railway, but certainly not the second in the world. According to that article (and ignoring ancient "rutways") the rough order - in terms of modern countries, was thus:

1. United Kingdom 2. Czech Republic (Bohemia) 3. United States 4. France 5. Germany (Bavaria) 6. Belgium 7. Canada 8. Cuba 9. Austria 10. Russia 11. Italy 12. The Netherlands 13. Poland 14. Jamaica 15. Hungary 16. Switzerland 17. India 18. Egypt 19. Brazil 20. Norway 21. Australia 22. Chile 23. Panama 24. Portugal 25. Argentina


Therefore, the inclusion of the United States, Canada, Cuba, Jamaica and India higher in the list than Egypt means that unfortunately it wasn't even the first outside Europe. 109.94.137.1 (talk) 15:01, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Map

edit

The map is very useful, but currently seems to suggest that the Cairo-Luxor line crosses the Nile several times. The line runs on the left side of the river, and I do not believe that there are railway bridges across the Nile south of Cairo.Ekem (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
