Cross Egypt and Sudan together
 

Hi

We are in Turkey at the moment and will be here going via Syria and Jordan to Egypt arriving early October. It seems a sound idea to have a few travel companions for North Africa heading down the East coast.

We are two people on two BMW F650GS bikes. To read / find out more about us and our travels please look at www.long-way-home.com.

Is any one doing this route about this time and would like to meet?

Kind regards
Sandi & Paul

Egypt 22nd Sept
 

Hi Ian

Thanks for your post! Will be great to meet up. Our plan is basically:
2 days Red Sea then to Alexandria. Visit Cairo by train to do the Sudanese visa and obligatory pyramids. Then the route we are thinking of is from Alexandria via the White Desert (Siwa oasis) down to Luxor.

In any case... How are your plans progressing? Can we meet in Alexandria?

And we need to get in touch with Omar to organise meeting him. Perhaps we could leave messages with Omar? Would that be ok?

We will try SMS Omar tonight.

Our email is long-way-home@hotmail.com
Telephone 44 (0)7966246007 Please SMS

Best
Paul & Sandi
