Carnet on egypt/sudan border
 

Hi guys,

Was hoping to hear from anybody who had any up-to-date information on this. I have read that you can put a deposit of 2000 euros down at the border if you dont have a carnet. Is this true?
Has anyone heard of this working or even better has anyone done this?
Also does anyone know how you would go about getting your deposit back as one leaves the lybian/egypt border?

Many thanks :thumbup1:

Midhat Mathir had a convoluted story of how he'd helped someone manage this. Sounded like a total nightmare and could have gone wrong. The process seemed made up as they went along and I would say is definitely not recommended.

Search for Midhat and try and get in touch, he may have some ideas.
Sorry I cann't be more helpful

MIdhat is a very good guy and will definitely help you and he is straight.
However his interrpretation on frustration and hardship is a lot more laid back than most people's .
I would NOT try this crossing without a carnet and i would be prepared for a lot of frustraion on the Egyptian side, they are a night mare, just devastatingly slow and inefficient.

One tip is if you scream and shout and really loose the head with them, they seem to react and make things move faster... that's what i did at least, so dont blame me if you get arrested :)
Seriiously , please dont try the crossing without a carnet
