In-out through Egypt?
 

In the past we have always used the standard Moroccan or Tunisian ferries to get to the desert.

Does anyone know of similar (ie travel with your vehicle) ferries between Egypt and Europe?

Sam.

If there was it would be a very popular route but I believe what there was (out of Athens to Alexandria?) has not run for years. Containering is the only altenative and you can imagine how much fun that would be in Egypt...

Happy to hear otherwise, tho.

Ch

looking for confirmation...
 

...of a new service Libya-Italy.

Anyone?

Shipping
 

We shippede form italy to Alexandria. i am not sure about verries to ther thouggh.

cant spell
 

Sorry about that,,,,

I recently shipped from Alexandria port to Italy with a 20' container.

It took about two days with an Egyptian agent to clear custom.


Costs as follow:
390 USD Container
1700 EP (Egyptian Pound), about 225 Euro for Port and shipping agent

After this you have to pay about 400/500 Euro for the Italian port and agent.

So it will be about 1000 Euro one way for a 20' container (4/6 bikes)

To ship from Italy is also possible but it will take one more day to clear custom, this told me the Egyptian agent, who was very kind with us.

If there is any chance to arrive together with the bike like a RoRo, it will be easier to clear the custom (like entering from Sallum, see my post).
