4WD transit through Egypt?
A friend and I are planning to drive a 1988 Suzuki Vitara from Switzerland to Namibia starting September 1. During this trip we want to (have to, really) cross Egypt, entering in mid-September overland from Libya at Musaid/El Salloum.
I thought we had all the necessary documents, but information from my AA states that "Four-wheel drive vehicles cannot enter Egypt without a permit from the Egyptian Customs." The Vitara is switchable 2WD/4WD...
Can anyone confirm whether this is something that is actually checked/can be solved at the border/completely screws us?
Thanks in advance for any information!
