Thanks, Atlas! The date of your travel explains it all: The first to report on the blockade for 4WD were wheelwishers in September 2013, some weeks after you had still managed the crossing.
So unfortunately, your positive experience does not help for now because we need an update on whether the restrictions have been lifted again in the meantime. It seems, though, that nobody tried this with a 4WD recently. There might be an easing of the situation since travel warnings for Sharm el Sheikh have also been lifted recently by Western governments.
Greetings,
Achim
