Port Said to Sharm el Sheik
 
Great site we are new here and in the planning process. Is it possible to drive there from Port Siad in a foreign vehical or are there restrictions on this side? We want to do some diving before driving down to Kenya. Planning to go in September.

No restrictions if your vehicle is already in Egypt on a carnet, We drove the opposite direction with no issues.

Many thanks Pumbba
 
We are deep in the planning and dreaming while keeping an eye on the political situation. We hope to get to Egypt in September to travel down to South Africa. Do you think the heat will be a problem then? We have travelled across Australia in our trusty Landrover in temp around 40
Many thanks again

the heat!
 
hello the windleys!

My wife and I are about to leave Cairo heading south. So are likely to encounter the peak heat.doh We can tell you what its like once we're the other side of the sahara if you'd like.

I think leaving it until September is probably a good idea, but it will still be pretty hot. We're hoping it will be bearable, but will have to wait and see. We've lived in Cairo for the last 3 years, and it's hasn't been as bad as we feared (especially given my scottish blood!).

Would be interested to hear from others about their views.

It would be great if you can let us know how you manage the heat and any tips for Egypt. We will probably be not be moveing from Egypt until early September. How was Egypt in August? Good luck on your trip,
Diana and Colin
