I only succeeded the last moment thanks to some connections! Egypt is hard for overlanders anyway but if you are there, maybe you'll find a way. I know other motorcyclists who did too.

My whole story about Egypt is at:

Do you have details on your shipping to Greece?

tmotten,

I am planning on leaving in May from Cape Town.

Well, when i say i am planning... i might change that part :) might leave little earlier or little later but i don't want to leave too late as Europe gets colder later :)

I've been to Egypt before )not on 2 wheels thought. I've seen pretty much most attractions that tourists were allowed to see and did some horseback riding in the desert. Bike's different.

I would love to go to Jordan and Israel and then onto Turkey or Europe.

Maybe it's possible to go from Sudan to Saudi and then onto Jordan, Israel and whatnot.

I don't know, it sucks that Suez is closed to bikes... i don't really have much faith in it being open though :) maybe...

anyway, my plan is to ride southern most point of Africa... to europe.. maybe end up northern scottland .. that part is even more open than sudan/egypt/jordan/israel situation :)
