In theory yes but to start with we need to know where you are starting from, I will assume somewhere in Europe. At the moment there are well reported problems in Syria which effectively block coming in from the east, others may know a way around this but I cannot see one. The other way is from the west which means going through Libya which I believe is possible, details have already been posted on this site if you search, you need to get the ferry from France to Tunisia to start with.
You also need to bear in mind the cost of a carnet for Egypt, which is the highest in the world, details also on this site in trip paperwork.

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.
