Health authorities had dispatched 36 ambulances to the scene and casualties were being taken to local hospitals, the health ministry announced in a statement, Al-Jazeera reported.
Pictures on local media showed train carriages derailed above a channel of water.
“The trains collided while going at not very high speeds, which led to the destruction of two carriages and a third to overturn,” a security source told Reuters news agency.
Egypt has one of the oldest and largest rail networks in North Africa and accidents causing casualties are common.
