Wheelie,
if you go North, the barge will "usually" go on Wednesday (no bet on this!), arriving in Aswan on a Thursday or Friday, meaning that you can only start your customs rallye on Sunday, probably not being able to leave Aswan before Monday. And you will have to be in Wadi Halfa as early as Monday night / Tuesday morning in order to do the paperwork.
The way Southward with the ferry leaving Aswan "regularly" on a Monday (again: no bet on this!) is therefore usually better, arriving in Wadi Halfa on Tuesday afternoon, making it possible - if everything works out - to leave Wadi Halfa on Thursday, before the weekend.
Greetings,
Achim
