Q about Egypt Sahara
Hello!
I and my friends (2 cars, 6 persons) are going to go on oases of Egypt from Cairo in December. There are some questions.
1. How in oases with fuel for cars?
2. For journey from Siwa in Bahrija documents (permits) are necessary. Them do in police? How many they stand? How many they do on time?
3. Whether there is a road from an oasis of Harga in Abu Simbel?
Can be at somebody there is a GPS-TRACK for travel from Siwa in Bahrija?

Egypt Siwa Bahariya Oasis Route
hi Dmitri
you need a permission for Siwa - Bahariya, you can get it in the Tourist Office within 24 hours.
Maybe you must even take an officer or guide with you - its not quite clear who does and who does not ;-)
The road is partially tarred, but mainly a dusty piste - you don't need wpts
Fuel is usually no problem in the Oasis

I've been along the Siwa - Bahariya road this past March, give up all hope! The road is only passable with a 4wd, there are a couple of sandy stretches with practically liquid sand completely covering the 'road' at about 70 kms from Siwa. The road is under construction, so you have stretches of excellent tarmac that last 5-10 kilometres, then 20-30 kilometres of completely corrugated and potholed stretches, with terrain too soft along the sides to go there. Plan a full day (12 hours) to do it.

Siwa to Bahariya road
We have traveled this road but from Bahariya to Siwa 3 weeks ago, took us about 8 hours and we had a trailer. Sand is loose in places but nothing worth worrying about.
I have a track log if you are still interested

Dear Andrasz, with all the respect, looks like you're forgetting this is an off-roaders' forum and not a nail-polishers' forum. So please, give some respect to the others, too.
Cheers,
DS

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.
