Europe to Egypt via Israel (again)
I have been struggling to find some recent quality info in going to Africa this direction.
Shipping;
I've read you can ship from Athens/Istanbul to Haifa at lame prices but will follow through with that. I'll throw it on a ship for 400 euro and fly to Tel Aviv, and bus up to the port. Seems like a much cheaper option than going as a passenger.
Entry to Egypt;
I have a French registered motorcycle (though I am NZ), I'm not entirely sure how it works but I think ADAC can issue me a Carnet de passage for a couple of hundred euro (I'll pick it up when I'm in Germany in a month), should make other African countries easier.
Do I need anything else other than the Carnet to enter Egypt from Taba? I've read about a 2000 euro deposit but not sure if that is a TIP which is irrelevant if you have the Carnet or not. If I have the Carnet, can anybody give any other details of unexpected costs/processes at the Taba border? Really just want to have all my shit in one sock before arrival
Thanks for info
Reuben
