How To Buy Tickets Online?
Direct online booking of Egyptian trains is available now , so you'll have to buy tickets either through one of  local travel agencies or form Abela Egypt (if you want the Cairo-Luxor sleeper) or at the station when you are in Egypt In fact, there does now seem to be an online reservation facility on the Egyptian Railways website www.egyptrail.gov.eg,  but  this only covers the Cairo-Alexandria route at present and it does not appear to accept non-Egyptian credit cards.
How To Buy Tickets At The Station?!
It's easy to buy tickets at the station ticket office when you are in Egypt, although a degree of patience is called for...  Cairo main station has several booking windows, one for each class and group of destinations, so check that you are joining the right queue.  You can pay for train tickets in Egyptian pounds, except for the deluxe Abela Egypt sleeper which must be paid in foreign currency (dollars, euros or pounds sterling) at the Abela Egypt sleeper office.  Alternatively, if you don't mind paying commission, you can use a local travel agent to buy tickets on your behalf.  Except during busy periods, it's normally easy to get 1st class tickets on the day of travel or the day before.  The deluxe overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan often has places available if you book a day or two in advance, but at peak tourist times it can get fully-booked by tour groups, so pre-booking from outside Egypt is recommended if you cannot afford to take a chance.

How To Buy Tickets From Local Travel Agent?!
If you want to book Egyptian train tickets in advance before you leave home, you can book by e-mail through several Egyptian travel agencies.  Reputable agencies include

ATA -Arab Travel Agency NST-New Star Tours

Travel agencies charges fares about $10 higher than the normal ticket price, plus a $5 booking fee if you collect the tickets from their office in Cairo, a $25 booking fee if you want them delivered to your hotel, $25 for delivery to the airport to meet your flight, or $20 to meet you with the tickets at Cairo railway station.  They also make a 6% credit card charge. Both ATA -Arab Travel Agency  and NST-New Star Tours  have been recommended so far by travelers.
