I'm travelling with Land Rover since 1977 every year around Africa (including deep Sahara) and Middle east without getting stuck anywhere, so forget about Toyota, more expensive and eating more petrol (about this last point it's not a question of price but a question of autonomy).

Hi Roro ,how are you ?
so you are a good example for exception and being lucky ,hahahah
just kidding with you ,
but as you see Toyota is the best ,use it in the Egyptian Sahara since 1988 ,yes its pricey ,but that's why is best seller 4x4 for few years , and again easy to sort parts every where in Africa ,
good luck , and travel safe for all of us ,on land rovers ,|Toyotas ,even on tok toks and matatus

And about the update about this road?
More interesting than the eternal controversy between Land and Toyo.
(but you have no reply about the amount of liters needed by the Japanese.... not very practical when you need a lot of a autonomy, isn't it?)

The path of the new road is not yet clear to me, does anybody know?
What about Google Earth, can it be seen there?
Thanks!

Some of it. Have a look at the links in this post earlier in this thread.
AFAIK it will go down the west side of Lake Nasser to Abu Simbel, short ferry over to the new town of Qustul on the east side, then down to Wadi Halfa. But no road visible on the Sudan side on Google, yet.

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.
