Hi Alibaba,
What about driving North to South? (Just trying to miss out on expensive carnet for Egypt)
Turkey, Syria, Jordan Saudi (ferry) Sudan and south, visa places? have you done that route?

It is possible, but you will miss the Sahara-crossing.
I have done parts of the route with a car long time ago (Qatar-Saudi-Jordan.Syria..)

Since you are in Norway you can get both visas for Saudi and Sudan here, not sure about the Syrian visa but that shouldn’t be a problem to get in Turkey or maybe at the border.

If you get your carnet in Norway it will be valid in Egypt without paying extra. I think the price still is:

Deposit: Vehicles value +10.000NOK (1250€)
Price for carnet: 4000 NOK (500€)

It should be possible to get a low value on a foreign-registered vehicle, but I have never tried…
