Great info!
Thanks Landygirl,
In 2005 we crossed into Egypt from Jordan at Nuweiba and spent 10 hours (yes 10 hours) to clear customs because we were sure they were trying to overcharge us with all the ridiculous formalities. This was mostly caused from a nasty experience crossing from Romania into Bulgaria a month earlier where most people were having to pay a €5 bribe and from this we made a decision to try the patience of any official requesting payment from us. Your information would have helped a lot.
Interestingly at the time they also requested to see the engine number but because it couldn't be found they wanted to stamp a new number on it instead. Hilarious episode - suffice to say they never got their stamping done.
