Shipping 4x4 from Europe to Egypt
 
Hello,
Can anybody give me some up to date info on getting a 4x4 vehicle from Europe to Egypt for a drive down the East coast of Africa? I will be driving with an Land Rover Defender and a Toyota HJ next year.

have heard of an on/off ferry from Southern Turkey? Iskendrum to Alexandria? What is the actual situation?

I have hear of a container shipping option from southern Italy to Port Said or Alexandria but can find no further info of who, where, and when.

I have heard that the Nuweiba ferry from Jordan no longer allows 4x4s to board, but am not sure if this still valid in 2017.

Maybe somebody can give me his/her recent experiences and/or tips on finding a shipper and getting through the apparently nightmare like customs formalities.
Thank you very much for any info that provides a solution to this problem. I have been surfing through forums but most of the info is vague or out of date.

If you end up shipping to Alexandria make SURE you are sending your container to the "OLD" port as this port can handle personal imports. At the "New" port there are no facilities for you to import your vehicle and will be face with very expensive bills.

Turkey to Egypt over land
 
Hello guys,
I'm heading from Lithuania to South Africa on a small bike Suzuki Drz 400s. I got to Izmir and I found that there is no ferry from Iskenderun to Egypt...my bad, and I know it.
I'm trying to figure out what chances do I have to get in to Egypt.
Does anyone has done recently it recently by air or land?
If I make it I will share it. If someone has done it would be nice if you can share it.
I know that situation is not the best in this part of the world. But I'm not willing to give up with it :)
Cheers, Karolis
