Overland travel in Egypt
I am planning to arrive via the ferry from Venice, in Alex late April, so am naturally keeping an eye on the situation in Egypt. Having driven north through Tunisia a couple of weeks ago with no problems at all, I am concerned, rather than worried, as I hope that by avoiding obvious hot spots, all should be okay. I am following Rory and Lucy Macdiarmid's progress in a rather tasty Sprinter 4x4 camper, who are there right now and sent the following email today (10/2/11)
Hi Toby,
Border with Libya more hassel than usual. Very obvious military presence. Good dozen Military road blocks to el alamein but every one quite cheerful despite tanks guns and fixed bayonets. Rural banks still closed and not found a working cash machine yet.....Driving round Cairo today so will let you know how it is.
