Accommodation
There are two hotels in town, with standards below what most Western visitors will feel comfortable with. But they are fine concerning safety and price.
Eating
Zagazig has no posh restaurants, but there are enough small take-aways or fastfood-like places to keep your stomach happy. Prices are simply rediculous (that means low).
Transportation
Zagazig has 4 ways of getting there or getting out; train, bus, microbus and shared taxi. It is easy to find the connection you need, just ask anyone you meet, they will either know or ask somebody for you. 2nd class train ticket to/from Cairo costs EŁ8 while the bus is EŁ5 (late 2004 prices).
