Europe to South Africa via Egypt
Has anyone recently entered Egypt from Jordan by car? We'll be travelling with a Land Rover 110" and have the carnet but don't know exactly how much is the "vehicle enter tax" or the price for the Aswan/Sudan ferry... any information will be appreciated.
thanks

To cross the Red Sea at the Nuweiba ferry you need to leave a deposit equal to the value of the car, which is a pain. Also the ferries havent been that reliable lately. Entering Egypt can be a bugger - they wanted to tax me $30,000 US for my Defender 110, even though I had a Carnet. Mind you a friend of mine has got through with less. It depends what mood they are in. Avoid Egypt if you can.

Egypt seems to be a no-go destination with your car now !
10 year ago I have taken the same ferry , and at Nuweiba they want to tax me 300$ only for a 3 days transit to go to Alexandria .
I was with my children and I said : OK , we have no more money and we will wait here until we can go !
We have wait 4 hours and after that they have seen us too much time and let us go through the post without paying ( we had a carnet too ).
But it was 10 years ago and I believe this attitude doesn't work anymore !
