The Taurus Express

There are two sleeping compartments each with 10 cabins. Each cabin in the sleeping car converts to two bunks (upper and lower bunks). A porter makes up the beds in the evening. There is a moveable ladder for the upper berth. A small sink provides hot and cold water, and there is a mirror, luggage rack, window with roll-up blind and a toilet at each end of the sleeping car.

The restaurant car is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner (included in the tariff) and additionally snacks are available and (the restaurant car is detached from the train short of the Syrian border) offers a convivial meeting point. (Please note that this restaurant car has been added for Voyages Jules Verne groups but by the very nature of trains, exclusive use cannot be guaranteed).
