Can I switch from a sleeper train from Luxor to Sharm El Sheikh, and then to Cairo, to a domestic flight? Does the traveler need to arrange the flight booking themselves, or does the operator handle it and they just pay the cost? Would they need to indicate this preference during the booking process?

The Sleeper Train is only between Cairo and Upper Egypt. There is no Sleeper train connecting Upper Egypt with Sharm El Sheikh. We are happy to book your Sleeper train ticket and flights and you can pay upon arrival. We usually book the most convenient flight to the price.
