I believe this ferry service was suspended last summer after only running a few months.
With the state of Libya and Syria and no other ferries - that is why Egypt a problem at the moment.

I decided on shipping. Even with all its associated hassles it seems to be the only reliable way in. Will probably ship 1st week in May, so can provide an update on the “process” that side. Not sure which direct routes there are from the Med, but check the schedules as my research have shown some routes first go back to Europe before returning to Alex which for me meant shipping direct from UK is better.

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.
