Hello Nick,
I and Andy did the Gilf Kebir trip very recently. We made all arrangemnts on our own and learned a few things in the process.

Does anyone have any information on shipping from the UK to either Israel or Eygpt?

Unless you are talking about dozens of vehicles, I'm quite sure there's no economical way to do this, neither from UK, nor Europe. If large numbers are concerend you could think of chartering a small boat. Using containers involves the risk of delays, damage, theft and huge costs.

Carnet aside, is it true that all vehicles entering Eygpt must be under two years old?

No

Does anyone know of mapping showing WWII minefields (So as to avoid them)?

You won't need it, as you will always travel with a guide who should know. You just can't turn up in Egypt and say where you want to go in the Western Desert. All routes are aproved well in advance by the army and you (or rather your tour operator) will be give permission to travel only along designated routes
Quote:
If traveling by bike in Libya is the guide still required or can one travel independently?

You will need a guide, unless the rules change again.
If you are interested, I can recommend the people we used in Libya and Egypt.
