Ferry Aswan - Wadi Halfa
Hi everyone!
We are two swiss guys traveling from Switzerland to Namibia. We are actually in Egypt and we are planing our way to Sudan. For this, we want to take the ferry going from Aswan to Wadi Halfa and we are looking for other people doing the same as the ferry rate is shared between each participant. We want to leave Egypt before 17 May, so everything before (or even after) would be good for us!
So if someone planed to take this ferry around these dates, you can contact us by this forum, by mail (enafrique.ch@gmail.com) or by phone (+201066958466, egyptian number).
Thank you!
See you!
David and Julien

Keeping this thread alive...
If anybody is en-route to Aswan to catch a ferry to Wadi please get in touch with the following people as we are trying to arrange a private barge for around 13 May:
mena.julien@gmail.com, enafrique.ch@gmail.com, h_vanzyl@hotmail.com
phone +201066958466 (David or Julien)
Some of the group should be in Aswan from 6 May onwards to confirm that there is no public barge to confirm if we actually need a private one, but if we have to take the private barge please get in touch. The more the merrier and the cheaper
Cheers
Hentie

The other option for a group of overlanders is to pay for a military escort to the Sudan border by road....yes, there is a road; and yes, a group recently did that.

m2m,
Get the group above to do that, and you use the escort on the way back to Aswan - saves you all money and headaches....
Then catch the 'new' roro boat from Egypt to Turkey etc

Egypt to Sudan
We are currently in Bawiti (Western Desert in Egypt) and we want to cross into Sudan in about 1 or 2 weeks. We have heard lots of rumours about the road to Wadi Halfa being open, like M2M said, but have not been able to confirm them. If other overlanders want to travel with us, by road, ferry or private ferry, please let us know. We obviously prefer the road over the ferry since it seems to save some trouble.
Greetings,
Jeffrey & Twan

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. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
