It was a very tedious process over a week but in summary there are weekly services between these locations. The best way to get a response is to email cargo@grimaldi.napoli.it and they're usually pretty quick at getting back, especially if you follow up with a call to +39081496111.

- Price Piraeus to Ashdod - EU297 + EU95 free-in + "customs formalities"
- Piraeus to Alexandria - EU224 + EU95 + "customs formalities"
- You can't travel with the vehicle
- You should be fine if you book 4-5 days in advance
- Takes 3-4 days
- The final schedule is usually set a month before departure

Hope that's of help to someone!
Thank you very much for info.
Just what I was looking for

When you mention viable cost I assume you are referring to the exorbitant prices from Wadi halfa to Aswan, carnet etc. Is this correct or is there something else other than this that you were implying on.

Cheers

Hi Eslam,

This is good to know! Do you also do all the customs issues if travelers are coming from Turkey and want to ENTER Egypt?

Greetings,
Achim

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
