Sudan \ Egypt ferry

Hi, does anyone know if we have to book for the ferry from wadi halfa to aswan in karthoum, or can we just pitch up at wadi halfa and jump on?

thanks

Hey Wave, I hope you manage to breeze through the customs at Aswan as "easily" as you obtained your Sudanese visa. Eat some ful for us when you get to Wadi- and don't miss the new Italian restaurante/pizzeria near the 7-11! Safe travels. H.

Dude,

Small tip, when in Wadi, don't stay at the dirt bag "hotels" in town. You can camp on the other side of the lake, it's about 8 km back toward the road from Dongola, turn right at the construction camp and ride a couple more km until you see a turn to the right that goes about a hunderd meters right to the lake side. From there you can see the "lights" of Wadi and not have to deal with the bed bugs. The handler in town knows where it is as well and I'm sure it's on Tracks for Africa.

Cheers.

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.
