hey that is cool...simple things for simple minds my wife is saying over my shoulder. Boy has she got her priorities wrong.

JT we live in Maadi (near Residence Hotel). Drink at Maadi House or occasionally the ACE club. Will get to BCA eventually. We're away for the summer too, back mid-July. Got the car but not the bike yet - so bloody complicated getting this stuff done. Got the green light for a motorstrada so that's my plan.

A long drive to pick up jerries - as good a reason as any. If you'd like an extra in the motorcade count me in - I need to get some petrol-stink in the jeep.

cheers Brett

Hi Roro
well the area there is still untouched some howby people ,miles and miles nothing but Mountain and the beautiful Red sea ,its like paradise for scuba diving ,
and totally safe though
but will be sohard to do it with a solo motorbike,for fuel and enough water to drink

But with my car, it will be possible, isn't it?

Hi Omar,

hmmm but it can be a great ride first day Alexandria ,Cairo ,Sokhna ,spend a night there
then a night in hurghada and then 2 nights or 3 at your place
perhaps others can join from Cairo !!

Dive camp? Wondered what you were doing all the way down there Lahami. Long ride/drive, beers and diving. Sounds like a genius plan. After the summer period might be the go.

cheers, Brett

Hey, thats very cool ... we might come and have one or two bier

Welcome :) stay some days to relax :)

Port Safaga
 

Hey Lahami

thanks for the offer ... and it`s quite possible bier

So, Port Safaga would be the place to look for a boat and it might be possible to do the paperwork (CdP, registration, traffic police, etc.) legally, because it`s an exit port ,right :helpsmilie:

@roro

you really think the road will be open .... I doubt it :(
I worked as an PADI OWSI in Hurghada for a year some 20 years ago and I remember the slow development back then .... ?c?

anyway, still some time untill we hit Egypt with the bikes :scooter: and hopefully everything works in our favour .... Inshallah

I know this thread is a few years old...but I was wondering what the OP ended up doing. I'm thinking of taking my bike from Cairo to Nairobi in 9 days and ship the bike back to Cairo by air freight. Now that the road between Egypt and Sudan is open I think it should be possible.

I know that the pace is not ideal. I would love to take more time off and do that trip at a much more enjoyable pace, however, I'm stuck with the time I have. Here's what I have planned so far:

Day 1. Cairo - Aswan (850km)
Day 2. Aswan - Dongola (800km est.)
Day 3. Dongola - Khartoum (638km)
Day 4. Khartoum - Gondar (763km)
Day 5. REST
Day 6. Gondar - Addis Ababa (732km)
Day 7. Addis - Moyale (773km)
Day 8. Moyale - Isiolo (505km)
Day 9. Isiolo - Nairobi (275km)

What does everyone think?
