Accessing North East Africa

I'm new to the forum and planning to drive to Dubai in January 2013. With the current political situation in Libya going through the sahara/north Africa is too dangerous which leaves us taking a route down through Turkey.

We're going to be in a toyota landcrusier and wanted to find out what the best route to access North Eastern Africa would be? Looking at the options it's a case of either going to Egpyt or Israel and I was wondering which would be easier. I noticed there is a thread about travel from Mersin to Alexandria. What would be your reccomendations and how can I go about finding a price? It seems that the other post says it's a case of turning up on the day? Can anyone advise on the best way to go about this?

Many Thanks!!!

You do not say where you are starting from so any replies will be difficult to formulate.

If your starting point is Europe;

Mersin-Egypt option will be very expensive and so much paperwork in Egypt.
Currently best and most safe route is through Turkey,Iran,Bandarabbas port then ferry to Sharjah.
Best wishes.
