Ted, I was there more or less at the same time you were there, I did take the Nile route but I was told that the eastern rout was paved and it actually showed so at the crossroad after Wadi Halfa, if it was not so I stand corrected.
There is plenty of fuel along the Nile route, and honestly it does not make a lot of sense to take the other route unless you like sand just for the sake of it.
Safari Njema!
