Night train reservation is a problem for me. I prefer to take a sleeper but they haven't replied me by email. If someone calls them on my behalf and make a reservation from Aswan to Cairo on 13/14 July, I will very appreciate. (but if you need to pay something, and not show at the conf, please forget the above).
Eia, for sleepers, it will be a problem (reservation cannot make online, D'oh). As for coach (it is also my second choice, if no sleeper is available), they say more availability is expected (5 train run per day). Egyptian National Railway has a good website where you can see their schbedule.
