Turkey to Egypt - OPTION Z - Sanity check required
Hi,
We are in Turkey and need to get into Africa to get home. The Sisa Shipping lines are suspended, which means no ferry from Iskenderun to Haifa or Port Said. So here is my plan ...
We are going to drive back to Athens in Greece (from Turkey) and take a ferry from Lavrio in Greece to Haifa in Israel (via south Cyprus). This pretty adventure is going to cost as 1300 EURO + 1300 Shekels for Haifa port costs.
Then we will drive to Eilat and cross at Taba into Egypt, and from there venture down towards Sudan where we will get a VISA in Aswan and cross into Sudan.
(We have the options to go into Jordan and take the Aqaba-Nuweiba ferry to make our entry from Israel less obvious)
I spoke to Mazar (the Sudan fixer) and seems to think VISA in Aswan should be OK as long as no Israel stamp is there, even though it is obvious from the Taba entry stamp. I ask him about Aqaba-Nuweiba, but he seems to think this is unnecessary.
Can I get any opinions, taking into account there are very limited options here. My main fear is getting stuck in Aswan so if anyone has done Taba + VISA in Aswan I would love to know.
