Getting into Sudan after visiting Israel
I'm currently starting to plan a Cairo to Cape Town trip for late this year (2015). One of the big issues appears to be getting my bike to Egypt because of the current lack of direct ferries or Ro-Ro's from Greece or Turkey.
One option I am considering is riding from UK to Greece, Catching the ferry to Israel (which I'd like to visit anyway) and then crossing the land border to Egypt.
I well understand the Sudanese do not like you entering their country if there are Israeli stamps in the passport, but I also understand these can be avoided by asking the Israelis to stamp a form instead. My questions are:
(i) Do the Sudanese border post check carefully how you entered Egypt (ie check for evidence of a non-Israel border entry)
(ii) Whats the situation with the carnet. I've never had one before but assume it will also show the location of the border crossing used to enter Egypt.
Can anyone with experience give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance.
