egypt
 

hi we are planning a overland trip to egypt on our st1100 ive heard you can get a ferry from italy direct to egypt does anyone know ?can anyone give me any info or tips on this sort of trip or has anyone done this from the uk .ive been to egypt 26 times by plane but never overland .

Search HUBB for "egypt ferry" and "egypt ferries" and you should find the relevant info.

To the best of my knowledge these services are suspended. The only one still running is a freight ferry, which also takes passengers. But, there are some strange restrictions on where passengers or vehicles can get on or off, and in Egypt passengers can't get off!

I think the service to Haifa is still running, but it's no good if you want to leave the area via Syria, because you will be denied entry if you have passed thru Israel. Just like the Middle Ages!

Good luck! If you find a ferry make sure to let Grant know for the Shipping Pages.

I don't know whether you know, but Libya is difficult, guide required. There is a ferry to Israel from Cyprus, I believe. Search HUBB for ""Rosenfeld".
