Egypt without carnet?

Found a link to Wiki where I read that you dont need a Carnet de Passage to Egypt anymore. Has anyone tried to transit Egypt without one?

Lenny, I was in Egypt about 3 months ago and I definitely needed a carnet. Are you sure that Wiki is telling the truth on this? I'd be surprised if they would go from being the most expensive carnet country to not needing one at all.

You can go through without Carnet. But the cost is 500% the value of the vehicle as far as i know!!!!!! SO if its a new cruiser ouch!!

Good luck

It was this site, max. 2000 euros deposit that you get back at the exit border. Cant be sure if its true or not.

I was in november in egypt and because I read this good wiki-news too before I asked around if there is an egyptian carnet on the border:
nobody knew about it!
but I did not ask the egyptian auto club, shouldn't they know at least?

I would not take a vehicle into Egypt without a CdP.

Having gone through lots of hassles in Egypt with a CdP, I can't imagine how one would clear customs without one. The first things customs officials ask for are your passport and triptic (CdP).

Avoid Cairo airport if you can. If you must fly into the region, fly into Jordan and cross the border into Egypt.
