We are sorting out all the possibilities. I've send an dozen emails today to all kind of freighting companies.
Israel might be the only good option that is left. There is one guy who managed to get into Sudan even though he arrived in Egypt by the Israelian border crossing. I've sent him an email for some more information on how he managed to get into Sudan without a hassle.

Who is interested in trying to get to Egypt with Grimaldi lines, and can head for Egypt in the beginning of october?
It might be a good plan to contact Grimaldi with a group so it may be more interesting for them to disembark our bikes in Alex.

Unfortunately, as explained in a previous message, my employer has not given me permission to leave until 2015. So it is next year for me. But I will keep an eye on how you guys are doing. I hope you will find a solution to get to Egypt

@twotwins as you already know, we are in to team up for grimaldi ferry, we are three guys, so if you write them we are at least total of five bikers. maybe we should start a new thread "how to get to egypt", we still have hope that there will be a ship to egypt.

I think there is only one, reasonable, way to go.
Take a freightship from Salerno (IT) to Israël with Grimaldi lines.
To work around the "been to Israël" problem and not getting into Sudan. You need two passports. I don't exactly know how this works but there are numerous overlanders who have done it this way and had no problems getting into Sudan.

I send these overlanders an email. I'll let you all know how they did it.
