Hannes, this is the first proof that a ferry is actually running! My calls to the shipping company have been dead ends, but still trying. This is enough evidence for me to just drive up to Port Said and work it out there.

I will post what I find out.

Hi H
do you know if you can also take you car with you in this ferry? I would like to travel over sea to Egypt and take my car with me to continue traveling to Jordan.

Greets!

If you want to avoid the hassle in Egypt and Jordan is your destination, why not take the ferry from Monfalcone (Italy) to Ashdod or Haifa (Israel) and cross the border Israel – Jordan at Allenby / King Hussein Bridge ?

See: cargo ship cruises

Because I want to go to Sudan after Egypt....

Hi Guys,

We have taken the ferry from Mersin to Port Said.
Finally got the vehicle through customs today.

We have posted all the details on a different thread:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...pt-new-63995-2

In total we paid $1380 to get from Mersin to Port Said (this includes all customes duties, taxes and what ever else they can think of at the port)

Looking back, I would go through Libya!!
You'll have an armed guard escort you through the country and I have been told by some friends that have just gone through, that it was brilliant.

Any questions, feel free to drop me a message!

OK finally there is a RORO boat between Egypt and Turkey
please see the attached link

This is indeed good news as I would like to go from Said to Turkey within the next month. If anybody has further news on how to book passage, please post.
Thanks
Mike

A turkish friend of me called to menalines today. They only transport trucks and containers. NO passengers and NO motorcycles. Damn! Damn! Damn!

But Menalines are not the ones operating the RoRo ferry between Mersin and Port Said, right?

Hi,
What are the others ones?
I'm not sure you can find now a ferry between Turkey and Egypt which carries cars with their passengers and with the possibility to disembark on an Egyptian port.
But I hope I'm wrong....
