>> we went on saturday night to dubai (sharjah).
>> we bought our tickets in bandar abbas at saturday in the morning (without problems, there were only a few cargo wagons on the ship, and we were the only two passagners)
the office is nearby the port.
>> it took us the whole saturday to get the bike through the customs and shipping procedure at the port (12 offices with 12 papers...)
>> I can´t remember the exactly price... round about 250USD (2 persons 1 bike)
the rates on the website (http://www.persiatours.com/transportation_ferry.htm) wasn´t correct...

>> we went from duabai to katmandu (nepal)
>> absolutely no hassles at the fright warehouse, only have a little bit of time...
>> round about 1000USD for all...
dubai is a verry easy airport for cargo, only go to "cargo city" at the airport. there is all plenty of shippers and packers...
