Thank you guys. The advice and hints of optimism are so valuable :-)
I think the Jordan via sounds like a good plan.
I have a special last resort weapon at my disposal, which is I have a UK passport as well. I could use this for Israel (customs) and maybe Jordan to erase my past  and use my South African passport (and my current Egypt VISA) only for Egypt. This will look like Greece to Nuweiba ferry, but my brother only has SA passport, so he could expose the scam resulting in a worse situation I guess.
Perhaps it is better not trying to be too clever.
